The Difference Between Issues of Disagreement and Independent Legal Reasoning, and the Evidence for Covering the Face
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Issues of disagreement: Is it permissible to rebuke the one who holds a position in them? Some people rebuke the brothers who rebuke the woman who does not observe hijab, saying, "This is an issue of disagreement; the woman who does not observe hijab does not cover her face." Some people rebuke some of those who enjoin good and forbid evil, and others, saying, "This is an issue of disagreement, not a matter of scholarly consensus."
The Shaykh:
No, that is a mistake. There is no rebuke in issues of independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), not in issues of disagreement. Disagreement may exist regarding an explicit text. Issues of independent legal reasoning do not have explicit texts; this is the meaning of the scholars' words. Issues of independent legal reasoning are not issues of disagreement. As for issues of disagreement, if the text is established, one rebukes the one who contradicts it. Even if a number of scholars held that view? The criterion is the text.
The questioner:
What is the strongest evidence from the Sunnah for the woman covering her face?
The Shaykh:
From the Sunnah is the hadith of Aisha. It was said that when Safwan ibn Mu'attal saw her, like the authentic hadith, it was said that he had seen me before the pilgrimage. When I heard his voice, I covered my face. With the text of the situation regarding the Exalted, if he prays in the interpretation and says the closing salam and that scent and delights your hearts and say with it. In the field of the minority. Yes, from a considered side. Yes.
