The Muslim Woman’s Veiling Herself from the Disbelieving Servant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that it is obligatory for the Muslim woman to veil herself from the disbelieving servant as if she were a non-mahram man?
Answer:
Some scholars hold this view, citing the verse “or their women,” meaning Muslim women, and “do not display their adornment,” up to the phrase “or their women,” meaning Muslim women. This indicates that she does not display her adornment before the disbeliever. However, the majority hold that a woman, whether disbeliever or Muslim, has no 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) before her except what is obligatory to cover from all people, namely the 'awrah. Yes.
