How is the hadith of the Khath'am woman regarding hijab answered?

Question:
How is the hadith of the Khath'am woman answered?

Answer:
The discussion on this has already been presented, and the hadith of the Khath'am woman does not explicitly state that she was uncovering herself. As for the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement: , the meaning is that one should not wear the known niqab that is sewn to the face. This does not imply the absence of hijab; rather, she covers herself with the khimar and the jilbab. For this reason, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "And when a man approached us, one of us would lower her jilbab over her face." She also said, "We used to uncover our faces before the hijab was revealed, but when the hijab was revealed, we covered our faces with our khimars."
