Is a woman's chin part of her face?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh! Is it true that the jaw—the woman's jaw—is not part of the face? And that she must cover it down to the bottom, as the Shi'ah do?
The Shaykh : The jaw? The jaw—as I understand it—is part of the face. Do you mean that?
The questioner : This thing below... below the bottom. The Shi'ah cover it; meaning, below the lower lip by about three or four fingers' width.
The Shaykh : Do you mean the chin, or what?
The questioner : I don't know what it is called! It is the part below the lower lip.
The Shaykh : Well, that is the chin. What is behind the chin is not part of the face, but what is in front of it is part of the face.
The questioner : Does a woman cover the hijab below the chin? Is that what is covered?
The Shaykh : What is behind the chin is covered. What is in front of it, which faces people, is not covered unless she wishes to.
