The characteristics of the Shari'ah-compliant jilbab.

And it is required of the jilbab, as we also drew attention to in the first point, that the jilbab must meet eight conditions. Among them is that it must be thick and not transparent, and that it must be loose and not form-fitting. So if the jilbab is like this, and it is Shari'ah-compliant, how can it be lowered?

The questioner : Nothing.

The Shaykh : How does this woman walk who has been commanded to lower her jilbab over her face? It is not as if a play was performed... How does this poor woman walk if she is commanded to lower her jilbab over herself, meaning to cover her face? I feel that they found this command unreasonable, so they created an outlet for themselves and found a narration. It is from one of the Tabi'un, what was his name? I forgot, by Allah. He was a student of Ibn Mas'ud, 'Ubaydah or a name like that. The point is that it is mentioned in the books of tafsir: "She reveals one eye." So this jilbab, she walks like this, did you see? ... She walks like this, revealing one eye. But now they have contradicted the verse. Why? Either they interpret "lowering" as covering, but this did not cover; she revealed what about her eye? They found that the issue is not just about the eye, by Allah. Allah created two eyes for her. Why cover the other one? No, so other opinions came later: she reveals her two eyes, like this.
