The meaning is that when the verse of hijab was revealed, they went out like a black crow from her head to her feet. Is this hadith authentic?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We heard that when the verse of hijab was revealed, they went out like a black crow from her head to her feet. Is this valid evidence?
The Shaykh : I heard good, but I understood it poorly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Like a black crow, but it does not state that this black garment covered their faces. And when they went out like this, do you remember that in the hadith they stood with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying? Do you remember this or not? Otherwise, they would not have gone out with their heads like crows, meaning they stood behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying. So, is it obligatory for the widow to cover her face in prayer as well?
The questioner : In prayer? No, it is not obligatory. But if there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and there are men, and the men are coming and going, like in the Haram, let us be among the places where the woman is covered, but like the Haram where men and women are equal. So, how can the woman be uncovered when she is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) before the men?
The Shaykh : So we have demolished the hadith.
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : We have demolished it. Do you understand what demolition means? It is the opposite of construction. The hadith says: And you are speaking about harm.
