The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks about the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “Do not wear the face veil”,
The Shaykh:
and wearing the face veil, yes.
The questioner:
Muwatta Malik 20:17. He asks: Does that mean the woman performs tawaf with her face and hands uncovered?
The Shaykh:
No, it means she does not wear the niqab, which is the burqu’ or something of its shape that has two openings for the eyes. Rather, she covers her face with the khimar, as Aisha said, covering her face with the khimar or the end of her garment, or the jilbab she is wearing, [Al-Ahzab 33:59],
