Is a woman compelled to cover her face?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a woman refuses the hijab, is she compelled to do so by her husband?
The Shaykh : How is it not?
The questioner : She is compelled.
The Shaykh : But what do you mean by hijab?
The questioner : ... The religion, meaning it is obligatory with the hijab, like prayer.
The Shaykh : What is the hijab?
The questioner : The khimar.
The Shaykh : This is not the hijab that Allah guides you to, and this is not a khimar.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That is why I asked you what you mean by hijab?
The questioner : I mean the face covering.
The Shaykh : She is not compelled; rather, she is given the choice.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : As for everything except the face and the hands, she is compelled.
The questioner : Everything except the face and the hands, she is compelled.
The Shaykh: Is it clear?
The questioner : Is that clear?
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Clear. May Allah bless you, and peace be upon you.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, we would like to speak with you, if Allah wills. We would like to take some of your time, if Allah wills, to discuss some issues. I was very keen to attend the lesson at Al-Hishlamun Mosque, but due to unavoidable circumstances, it delayed us and some of the brothers.
The Shaykh : Okay, you.
The questioner : We invited many of the brothers...
The Shaykh : Are you staying here for a few days?
The questioner : ... Our Shaykh... Yes.
The Shaykh : Staying for a few days.
The questioner : Not staying, currently permanently. We were in Saudi Arabia.
The Shaykh : Okay, then follow the news so that we can hold a session in which you are present, if Allah wills. Peace be upon you.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, may Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Done, it is over.
The student : There is no time left.
The Shaykh : How is it not?
The questioner : She is compelled.
