The Ruling on Wearing the Burqa
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on wearing the burqa? What is the ruling on a woman looking at a man? And is a woman’s voice an awrah (part of the body that must be covered)?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with the burqa if it covers the face, leaving only one eye, or both eyes, exposed for the need to see. There is nothing wrong with it, but the complete khimar (head covering) is more preferable, better, and further from suspicion.
