In the name of Allah the most beneficent, the most merciful. “Allah Almighty says what means: And say to the believing women to lower their gazes and guard their chastity, and let them not display of their charm - except what is apparent.(An-Nur 24:31) some olama believes that "except what is apparent" means, everything including the hands and the face should be covered because the face and the hands can be shown willingly  while some olama believe that it means to cover everything except the face and the hands due to the saying of ibn abbaz that goes thus: "A woman must cover all her body except her face and hands while in the presence of men who are not related to her directly."  The second position on this issue seems to be more consistent with the general understanding and evidences of the Qur’an and Sunnah than of those who advocate covering the face and hands as well. There are several proofs which point to this conclusion: #Firstly, the verse quoted above from the Qur’an seems to presume that the women it addresses are not wholly covered, i.e. face and hands. Otherwise, there is no sense in ordering both genders to lower their gazes. #Secondly, it is a general consensus among scholars that a woman is not required to cover her face and hands while performing salah (ritual prayers). If these were deemed to be `awrah, it would certainly have been necessary to cover them. #Thirdly, a woman is required to bare her face while she is in a state of ihram. This again confirms what we said earlier. In light of the above, I conclude(I stand to be corrected though): A Muslim woman is required to cover all her body except her face and hands, according to the majority of scholars belonging to all schools. Covering the head, however, is not at all a disputed issue among them - they all agree that this is a necessary part of hijab. I'd like to stress that differences among scholars are only in minor and secondary things, and never in the fundamentals of faith, so we should think of it as a sign of Allah's mercy that He left some things open, so that there will be no hardship for people, and that they can make use of such things according to their own benefit. For example, if a woman is so beautiful to the extent that she attracts men's attention and her beauty tempts them, she would cover her face, as an aspect of preventing harm, even if it is agreed that niqab is not obligatory. On the other hand, some women may have some breathing or skin problems that they do not tolerate wearing face cover. Here, we realize that the difference of opinion in relation to niqab is really an aspect of Allah's mercy. as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said: “Allah has prescribed certain obligations for you, so do not neglect them; He has defined certain limits, so do not transgress them; He has prohibited certain things, so do not do them; and He has kept silent concerning other things, out of mercy for you and not because of forgetfulness, so do not ask questions concerning them.” (Reported by ad-Darqutni.) contributions will be highly appreciated... WALLAHU'ALAM. |

Assalam alykum wa rahmatuLLaah wa barakaatuh Brothers and sisters. The OP has really tried in explaining the scholarly debate on the matter of niqob but got some things wrong and this mistake is very ugly and Allah alone we ask to forgive us all. firstly the scholars are agreed that the woman should cover her whole body as OP rightly said. The difference of opinion among the scholars is only on the face and palms. But OP didn't mention that the scholars are also agreed that this covering should satisfy some conditions which are; 1) it should be free flowing and not tight or fitted such that it shows the sizes and contours of the body as is the case with the lady in the second picture. 2)it should be opaque and not transparent that the colour of the body could be seen through it. 3) it should not be an adornment in itself like the second picture in which the lady's garment and head gear are all adornments 4) it should cover the whole body as OP rightly said 5) It should not be perfumed because the woman should not use perfume in the presence of strange men. 6) it should not resemble the clothing of men 7) it should not resemble the clothes of the disbelievers i.e clothes peculiar to them eg sutana of the Cele people (please see jilbab al-Mar'atil muslimah) Secondly; The scholars are all agreed that it is encouraged and recommended to cover the face and palms. Even imam Albany who was of the opinion that it is not compulsory and argued seriously against saying it is obligatory, he never said that it is not encouraged rather his wives and daughters used the niqob. But the Imaam argued against saying that it is obligatory because the implication of saying that is anyone who doesn't cover her face will have right to be punished but if you say it's recommended then it such a person will only deprive herself of the reward. so in summary, that second woman is not close to being properly dressed especially with the lipstick and other adornments. AlhamduliLlah, may Allah forgive our shortcomings and soften our hearts to follow his commandments and stay away from his prohibitions. 2 Likes 1 Share |

in addition to the op, I will like to add that it was related by Muslim, #2128 that: "Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be in the last of my ummah, scantily dressed women, the hair on the top of their heads like a camel’s hump. Curse them, for verily they are cursed."
