The Description of the Lawful Hijab for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Tell us about the lawful hijab for women? And also, in front of whom is it permissible for her to go out? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The lawful hijab covers her body, and this includes the face and the two hands. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: : [Al-Ahzab: 53]. In the early days of Islam, it was permissible for women to uncover their faces and hands and to sit with men. Then Allah revealed the hijab, so they were prohibited from that and commanded to observe the hijab.
As for the hadith of Asma' that is well-known among people, when she entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing thin garments, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:890, it is a hadith that is not authentic. It is very weak and cannot be used as evidence, and it has multiple defects.
As for the hadith:, this is regarding Hajj, where she does not wear the niqab, but she covers herself with something other than the niqab. The niqab is a thing made for the face that is worn, with two openings for the eyes or one opening for one of them. The woman in a state of ihram does not wear this, but she covers herself with the khimar, by throwing it over her face, or with the jilbab, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: .
The point is: the woman is commanded to observe the hijab, which is covering her face, feet, head, and hands; because she is a trial, and the face is the greatest of adornment. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

Answer:
The lawful hijab covers her body, and this includes the face and the two hands. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: :
And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.
وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّAs for the hadith of Asma' that is well-known among people, when she entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing thin garments, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her:
O Asma', when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it is not permissible for anyone to see of her except this and this, and he pointed to his face and his two hands.
يا أسماء إن المرأة إذا بلغت المحيض لم يصلح أن يرى منها إلا هذا وهذا وأشار إلى وجهه وكفيهAs for the hadith:
A woman should not wear the niqab
لا تنتقب المرأةWe were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Hajj, and when the men came near us, one of us would lower her khimar over her face, and when they moved away, we would uncover it.
كناا مع النبي ﷺ في الحج، وكنا إذا دنا منا الرجال؛ سدلت إحدانا خمارها على وجهها، فإذا بعدوا كشفناThe point is: the woman is commanded to observe the hijab, which is covering her face, feet, head, and hands; because she is a trial, and the face is the greatest of adornment. Yes.
