Is it true that you have retracted what you concluded in your book: The Muslim Woman's Hijab, and issued a ruling that the face and hands are part of the awrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner: Your Eminence, the Shaykh, welcome.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner: Welcome, Munir from Morocco.
The Shaykh: Welcome, Munir.
The questioner: Your Eminence, the Shaykh, is there any problem?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: Praise and thanks be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner: My Shaykh, I have a question. Before I ask you my question, I wanted to know about your health; how is it?
The Shaykh: Excellent, and praise be to Allah.
The questioner: That is what we hope for, Your Eminence, the Shaykh. Welcome.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner: My question: Some news, some rumors are circulating among us in Morocco. The news says: There is a letter from your authorship confirming your retraction from what was in your letter "The Muslim Woman's Hijab," namely that the woman's face and hands are not awrah. Is this true, or is it just a drop from the ocean of some envious people? And thank you?!
The Shaykh: It is so. This is one of the many lies, and this fabrication is easy compared to its predecessor, where they declared the author of "The Muslim Woman's Hijab" dead. Perhaps that false news reached you as well?
The questioner: Yes, it reached me that there is a letter from Your Eminence.
The Shaykh: I did not understand you!! I am saying this is a lie.
The questioner: A lie.
The Shaykh: But I say this lie is minor, compared to its predecessor, which was that the author of "The Muslim Woman's Hijab" died, while he is still alive. Did you understand?
The questioner: Yes, I understood.
The Shaykh: Did that most false news reach you?
The questioner: Your Eminence, the Shaykh, welcome.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
