Question:
She says about herself that she is committed, and praise be to Allah, to covering her face since before marriage, but she was accustomed to wearing the niqab, and her husband refuses this. She once fell to the ground as a result of the thickness of the covering her husband ordered her to wear. Is there any sin on me if I wear the niqab? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the niqab reveals nothing but the eyes, and you are accustomed to it, then there is nothing wrong with it, provided that nothing but the eyes is revealed. However, if something of the face is revealed, such as the cheeks, the eye sockets, or the forehead, then it is forbidden; because whoever reveals more than the eyes has exposed her 'awrah, so it is not permissible to wear it. Yes.
