 |  Subject: Hanafi View Regarding Niqaab  Mon Nov 05, 2007 11:27 pm | |
| The Hanafi view regarding niqaab, it's an excerpt from the hanafi fiqh kitaab 'Quduri" - Quote :
- A number of scholars have regarded the woman's entire body to be nakedness, without any exception outside of salah. This is one of the views reported from Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and is the view of most of the latter Shafi`i scholars. They view the evidence we have cited as being abrogated, and cite other evidence in their favor, including the practice of the women of Madinah, who covered their entire bodies, with the exception of one or both eyes upon the descent of the verse, (translated),
"O Prophet! Tell your wives, your daughters and the believing women to draw their jalabib (outer garments) over themselves." [Qur'an,33:59]
Thus, it is at least recommended, and certainly more precautionary, for women to cover their faces, hands and feet also. The word used in the verse, jalabib (plural of jilbab), refers to an outer garment which covers the body completely, and so this is also an argument in favor of covering the face. Also indicating the covering of the face is the verse, (translated),
"And, when you ask them (the Wives of the Prophet) for something you need, then ask them from behind a veil; that is more pure for your hearts and for theirs." [Qur'an, 33:53]
The reasoning here is that if covering the face was a requirement for the Mothers of the Believers, whom Allah has purified [See Qur'an, 33:33], and who talked to the Companions, the best of generations, and that only on matters of religion, then it is more fitting and imperative that women beneath them in station should observe the same, espcially in times of greater moral decadence in society.
Even if the face is not considered a nakedness, it is obligatory to cover it if there is a danger of fitnah. [Radd al-Muhtar] | |
