Ruling on Niqab | Shaykh Akram Nadwi 

women use to do wadu in a public place that means there is no head cover also.. Circumstances are not a sunnah of any command which comes in the quran.. Sunnah is practicing.. Read any hadith related to jilbab referring to face cover only.. And go through any of the arabic dictionary to understand surah ahzab ayat no 59 it never means wrappings of jilbab to the body.. It means only "Ghoonghat" Which comes from the head side.. The correct meaning of "Yudninah" means to hang something from the top of the side...there are similar words in the Quran like "Daniya" Which also means to hang.this word came in quran to referring fruits on the tree..go and see how fruits are on the tree..."Alaihinna means from the top of the side "ilaihinna" means to wrap.. Munkareen of face cover did tahreef in this ayat they explain ilaihinna instead of alaihinna.. After that there is "min" In ayat which means "some".. The Quran never says full jilbab to use it say some portion of jilbab.. Surah ahzab reveals in 6 hijri that means almost 18 years of the prophets hood there was no viel at all.. Salah become fard 9 years before nuzul of viel ayat.. You can find a lot of things within this timeline.. Munkareen of face cover and head cover uses an event which occurred during this timeline to misguide.. Hence only concentrate on practicing not circumstances.. In madinah there was water shortage that time to fulfill the wadu requirement outside of the masjid e nabavi there was a water tank where women and men both used to take water from the tank. It's nothing related to not covering the face or head..

but he explained that the other opinion came at a later time and not in the prophets time

@@MH-bf4uu But evidence says otherwise There is this really beneficial podcast that you can watch to learn more بإذن الله ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uESDtsbmZv4.html

@@IslamGen There are evidences on both sides.

@@IslamGen yeah that's the guy who says football is shirk 😂😂 I don't understand, why go out of your way to make hijab even harder for women. As women we are constantly told that no matter how much we cover up, it will never be enough

@@MH-bf4uuIf you are referring to Abdurahman Hassan he is a student of knowledge not a scholar. Also you are taking it out of context. What he said is watching football is haraam due to many reasons. I don't know if you watched the whole podcast or just the snippet Mohammed Hijab shared. Brother Hijab did a great injustice by cutting his clip and taking it out of context and showing only some of the weaker points. If you watch the whole podcast you'll understand what he meant. So don't jump to conclusions. Isn't it true that man's awrah is between his navel to knee..so when you watch a football player who hasn't covered his knees won't it be haram to look at it? So are you saying when it's football there's an exception to looking at the man's awrah? Anyway that is just one point..I again urge you to watch the whole thing so you'll know what exactly he said and under what circumstance there is chances of committing shirk. Anyway coming back to the point, there are big scholars who have said Niqab is obligatory as well. There are scholars like Sheikh Albani who said it's sunnah and not obligatory. Both sides have their evidences so there is a valid diffence of opinion. No one is forcing an opinion on anyone. The women can look at the evidences herself and follow that which she feels is stronger. So no one is going out of their way to make anything harder. And Allah ﷻ knows best.

There are proofs to corroborate both sides of the argument. This Ayah is used as a proof for the opinion that stated that the Niqab is compulsory.

Jilbab means loose clothing or an outer garment and there is nothing regarding niqab in jilbab.

@@abdullahpatel6086 , the Sahabas didn't understand it to include the face.

@@hummamkhan8278 There is a difference of opinion.

@@hummamkhan8278 If I’m not mistaken, Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (RA) and Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA) differed on the interpretation of this Ayah.

He doesn't believe in sunnah that Ghamidi...i heard JG rejecting the khilafat of abu bakr ra and umar ra and calling them as oppressors in a debate. So muslims see right through him. JG the bullshitter, his opinions are shit. Zero credibility. He fools innocent people.. He doesn't tell his audiences how quran got compiled by the same people who compiled hadiths... The sahabas wrote hadith as they wrote quran and memorised hadith as they memorised the quran. Ignorants will get impressed by him.

@@abdulrehmaan1113 that is strange .I know he said clearly he follow Quran and sunnah.You probably mean that he did not accept all hadiths like the salafi sect but sunnah I know for sure .I wished to know if Akram Nadwi has arguments against JG arguments regarding head scarf

@@centric145 he rejects the sunnah, the bullshitter. He might play with words. Ghamidi has zero credibility amongst the serious scholarship, they know his farce, such people can only prey on the masses, and I know people like you who want to fit Islam according to their whims, such people only can get attracted to such individuals as ghamidi,

@@centric145 no he plays with his words. He rejects the hadiths, he is no. 1 bullshit guy imposter.

Khimar is a head cover by definition.

To keep hidden

The parts that need to be kept covered

U could describe it in more than one way...private parts...beautiful parts/attractive parts of the body ...or everything that should be covered ...but also it may be described as a beautiful layer outside your body which comes from inside that makes u beautiful ..

The fact that Sahabiat covered their face is not a hukm but preference. The hukm is established from the book of Allah and his Rasool. Having said that this is an issue where there is legitimate differences of opinion among the scholars so there is NO condemnation on either group of scholars. The majority of scholars maintain that it is permissible for a Muslim woman to keep her face and hands uncovered, as long as she otherwise observes the limits of modesty in Islam. Allah Almighty said: وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا Tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity and not expose their beauty, except that which is apparent. Surat al-Nur 24:31 Allah has commanded believing women to conceal their beauty ‘except that which is apparent’ or what normally appears in daily life. Several of the companions and early Muslims interpreted this statement to include her face and hands. Ibn Kathir reported: عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا قَالَ وَجْهُهَا وَكَفَّيْهَا وَالْخَاتَمُ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَطَاءٍ وَعِكْرِمَةَ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَأَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ وَالضَّحَّاكِ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمْ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ Ibn Abbas said regarding the verse, ‘Except that which is apparent,’ means her face, her hands, and her rings. Similar narrations were reported from Ibn Umar, Ata’, ‘Ikramah, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, Abu al-Sha’tha, Al-Dahhak, and Ibrahim al-Nakha’i. Source: Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr 24:31 And then he writes: وَهَذَا هُوَ الْمَشْهُورُ عِنْدَ الْجُمْهُورِ This is the well-known opinion of the majority. And according to the Kuwaiti Encyclopedia of Islamic Law: فَذَهَبَ جُمْهُورُ الْفُقَهَاءِ الْحَنَفِيَّةُ وَالْمَالِكِيَّةُ وَالشَّافِعِيَّةُ وَالْحَنَابِلَةُ إِلَى أَنَّ الْوَجْهَ يعني المرأة لَيْسَ بِعَوْرَةٍ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَوْرَةً فَإِنَّهُ يَجُوزُ لَهَا أَنْ تَسْتُرَهُ فَتَنْتَقِبَ وَلَهَا أَنْ تَكْشِفَهُ فَلاَ تَنْتَقِبَ The majority of jurists, including the Hanafis, Malikis, Shafi’is, and Hanbalis, maintain that a woman’s face is not considered nakedness. If it is not nakedness, then she may cover it with the face-veil or uncover it and not wear the face-veil. [Source: al-Mawsū’at al-Fiqhīya] Now about hadith of Ayesha (r.a.) and you will see that they had their faces uncovered during hajj but when a man approached their location then they covered their faces." The scholarly response: Some scholars maintain that a woman must cover her face due to 'Aisha's narration which states: "Riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing ihram. When they came near, each one of us would lower [part] of her garment from her head over her face. When they passed by, we would uncover our faces" (Ahmed, abu Dawud, ibn Majah). • This hadith does not include evidence on the obligation of wearing niqab because the actions of the companions are not proof that something is an obligation. Moreover, the niqab may have been specific to the Mothers of Believers (the Prophet's wives) like the ruling that forbade them to marry after the Prophet's death. • It is determined in Ilm al-Usul (Principles of Jurisprudence) that anything that has multiple interpretations cannot be used as evidence. • The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A woman in ihram is not to cover her face nor wear gloves" (Bukhari). Based on this statement there is a scholarly consensus that a woman must not cover her face nor wear gloves during prayer. It follows from this that a woman's face and hands are not 'awra (those parts of the body that must be covered). • It is not conceivable that the Shari'ah would legislate that a Muslim woman expose her 'awrah during prayer or while in ihram. In the Hanafi school, there are classical text that one can refer dating back to 10th or 11th century It is mentioned in Muktasar Quduri, chapter on regulation on clothing outside salah - When a woman is in the presence of stranger-men or non-Muslim women, then her nakedness is all her body, except for her face and palms. This is also the view of Imam Malik, and one of the views of Imam al-Shafi`i. Ibn `Abbas said that the 'apparent beauty' referred to in Allah's saying, (translated), "And let them not expose their beauty, except that of it which is apparent." is antimony and a ring, (i.e. the face and the hands). [Narrated by : Tabari, Bayhaqi, Ibn Abi Shaybah, Abdur-Razzaq, Tahawi. It has a solid chain.] Some proof from prophetic tradition: (1) The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O Asma, when a woman reaches the age of maturity, it is not proper for her to show anything but this and this,” and the Prophet pointed to his face and hands. [Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4104, Grade: Hasan li ghayri (fair due to external evidence] (2) In Sahih Bukhari & Muslim, in the chapter of Hajj - the story of Faḍl, which took took place in Dhu'l-Hijja of 10 A.H on the Farewell Hajj. This was in later stage of his life, after the revelation of Hijab. Ibn Abbas reported: Al-Fadl was riding with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and a woman from Khash’am came. Al-Fadl began to stare at her and she stared at him. The Prophet made Al-Fadl turn his face in the other direction. [Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1442, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1334] (3) In Sunan An-Nasa’i Ibn 'Abbas(ra) narrated that: A woman from Khath'am asked the Messenger of Allah a question during the Farewell Pilgrimage, when Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas was riding behing the Messenger of Allah She said: "O Messenger of Allah! The command of Allah has come for His slaves to perform Hajj, but my father is an old man and cannot sit upright in the saddle. Will it be paid off on his behalf if I perform Hajj on his behalf? " The Messenger of Allah said to her: "Yes." And Al-Fadl started to turn toward her, as she was a beautiful woman, but the Messenger of Allah took hold of Al-Fadl's face and turned it to the other side. [Sunan an-Nasa'i 2642, Grade Sahih] Despite this incident of beautiful woman in her hijab with the face exposed, the prophet (pbuh) did NOT order her to cover her face, rather He (pbuh) instructed Fadl lower his gaze.

@@faysalahmed9157 jazakallah khair kaseer for your this profound reply with all the evidence from authentic refrences

1. Not hujja (not a command, action of one companion, action of a wife of the prophet who had different rules from the other women) 2. This is about a wife of the prophet 3. Show the command to cover the face if there be one

​@@faysalahmed9157 You or your family send females of your house (like your wife, mother, sister etc) infront of nonmuslim men without covering their faces? Also, then they might be sitting with men based on your above references as you interpret them being the Einstein/Newton of hadees. Masha'Allah. I salute your gheerah. Perhaps, you forgot that Prophet didn't liked his wife to be in front of a blind sahabi also and when his wife objected that he can't see, didn't you remeber the reply of Prophet to his wife that, you can see? Also, if you get time, explore about the mukhadarrrat sahabiyats also. Also, Had you been alive at the time of Syedna Umar RA as a female, perhaps you would have stood against the command of the caliph for females to pray at their homes inspite of Prophet not doing it. Gentlemen fyi, rulings change with time within the permissible limits especially during times of such immodesty and shamelessness. If you like or you have lost your gheerah/haya, send your females without niqab, also nobody cares but don't misguide common females with your one sided version of cherry-picking. That's the reason why fatawas are sought from local scholars. Study under some good Mufti because this kind of hadees can eventually take you to off-track and I am not saying this. These are words of someone who memorized 1 million+ hadees. Below is the reference per your perusal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6GcdO2qnUiw.html And one more thing, then you might not be going for Taraweeh also because there is no hadees about it during the time of Prophet as it has been happening across the world. Perhpas, you might think all this is biddat. Don't become a fitna and a source of confusion or misguidance for people.

​@@Andalusian_ quran 33:59 commands clearly to do so.

Did u study the hanafi opinion, about covering the face, that u can say that they have no proofs?

@umm ali..I dont know it is fardh or not..I am actually searching for it..but what you said " prophet has said to see an womens face before getting married" and your logic was " if they were uncovered then they would have seen her" so here your thought was logic..it is not something that is mentioned in hadith it is just a logic..if you can give a logic then I can give a logic too...listen to my logic now..so in quran the first hijab was for men ..righ! For mens eye..men are not allowed to look at a womens face directly or clearly..when they will talk to a women they will talk keeping their eye down..right?!! Then what if prophet was trying to mean that before marrying look at the women ,dont keep your eye down..how is that logic?! I am not against niqab..I am just trying to find what is correct..if it came out niqab is fard I will do it..but what reason (logic) you gave is it right?! Or mine is right?! Both are logic..sry for bad englisg
