The Shaykh Al-Halabi : There is an Egyptian doctor who wrote a book published in installments in the Egyptian newspaper al-Nur, titled "Reminding the Companions of the Prohibition of the Niqab."
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
Al-Halabi : It is published with praise and such very strange things; but what are his proofs? If a criminal kills a victim and wears a niqab, how can he be caught? And this indicates prohibition, and glory be to Allah the Great.
