What is the description of the niqab mentioned in the Sunnah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I see, and Allah knows best, that in such a matter we should stick to the general rule regarding the prohibition of excessive effort. You Arabs know better than the non-Arabs, even if the non-Arabs have become Arabized in the fine nuances of linguistic meanings. Do you see? Is the niqab, for example, the handkerchief that has two openings for the eyes? Is that the niqab? Or is the niqab the one that is tied under the eyes?
The questioner : The second one, not the first.
The Shaykh : We, Professor, whenever we get close to the non-Arabs, their foreignness interferes with us. The group is authentic in Arabness, so we want to hear the opinion of these people, for they are more sensitive and more aware of what is called linguistic jurisprudence. This is something your people did not touch when they touched upon the jurisprudence of reality. Do you see? What is the niqab?
The questioner : But does the niqab have a single form, or does it have multiple forms?
The Shaykh : When we get the answer to that question, do you take the answer from the answer?
The questioner : I do not know this, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. Regarding the expansion of the research, we say: The niqab does not have a single image. But I draw attention to the fact that the multiplicity of these images of the niqab should not make us forget that from this niqab, or this question, is this from this niqab or not? If the answer is yes, this is one of the images, then why is it prohibited?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : I did not ask you except to benefit from your speech!
The questioner: Yes, may Allah bless you.
