Did the companions cover their faces?

[@ThumbnailTricks]

Tbh I've always saw a lot of sheikhs and Muslim men telling women that niqab is obligatory and they shouldn't do this or that they even went further and said that women shouldn't speak at all only if it is EXTREMELY important and their voice is عورة but after I decided to learn about Islam more and go back to what the prophet said and what is stated in Quran plus other authentic Hadiths I realized that what we been told is just extremely toxic and draws a bad picture about Islam.

[@nourhuda7004]

Don’t look for fatwa from KZbin women who don’t feel shy exposing their faces to men this is not extreme but reality that influencers impose and teach look at the Islam from its sources and scholars who really had fear in Allah are you going to trust Ibn Abbas May Allah bless him or influencers in social media Should a woman cover her face? Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan (may Allah preserve him) said: “The correct view as indicated by the evidence is that the woman’s face is ‘awrah which must be covered. It is the most tempting part of her body, because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest ‘awrah of a woman. This is in addition to the shar’i evidence which states that it is obligatory to cover the face. For example, Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)…” [al-Nur 24:31] Drawing the veil all over the juyub implies covering the face. When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it.

[@xr763]

Sister, can you please provide evidences so that i may share it with others who are adamant that the niqab is fardh

[@MH-bf4uu]

You don't need to convince others. Niqab not being obligatory is the majority opinion, so you can follow that opinion without knowing much about the evidences or without having to convince others

[@xr763]

@MH-bf4uu actually all of the 4 madhahib say that in times of fitnah the niqab becomes fardh, which is why so many sheikhs with a range of strictness in views say that it is fardh in this society. And there are very few evidences to prove that women didn't wear niqab during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) aswell as the opinions of ibn Abbas and others who are the pinnacle of Islamic knowledge of the sahabah. Not to mention Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal who is the culmination of all four of the Imams. There was a hadith narrated by Asmaa where Muhammad (saw) told her that a woman should cover everything except her hands and face, but many scholars classed it as Da'if. But the way I see it is, if a woman is not allowed to do Umrah or Hajj in a Niqab that automatically makes it an optional thing. Because there are situations where Allah (swt) changes a ruling from makrooh, mustahabb or mubah to haram (i.e cutting the nails becomes haram during Ihram or for Qurbani) but never has something Fardh become Haraam. so if the Niqab WAS Fardh, it would become Haraam during Umrah or Hajj. We always need evidences to prove our opinions no matter what.

[@jubnabasheer8175]

3laikumus-salaam. App., there's a difference of opinion on this. If there's a local sheikh and he's trustworthy, you can ask him to clarify things. I asked one sheikh, and it is like - the definition of "facial boundaries" that we use in wudu' (to make sure water reaches all parts of the "face") is what we use here as well to define non-awrah parts of woman's face.

I have a question regarding this, we as women covered with the hijab only face and hands showing, would it be permissible to post or do content on social media nothing for haram purposes but for buisness related purposes, because I’ll be starting network marketing but I’ll need to show my face. Know what’s the answer?

[@MSC226]

There are differences of opinion but I recommend asking for the daleel as I have seen recently some scholars saying it is not permissible for even women in niqab to be giving dawah online. Yet they offer no hadith, no verse, etc in their statement, and give no reply when it is requested. Even the hadith regarding what constitutes awrah does not make reference to voice as far as I'm aware, unless there is a less well known one, in which case I'd also be curious to know the grading. Since you were thinking of it for business purposes though I would also consider type of business and their financial practices and whether it would be halal from that standpoint, not just awrah. And also if you are the type of person to have conflicting feelings on this, keep in mind that they may continue using the materials you have produced even if you change how you present yourself to the public in the future. There is also a good amount of info out there now about faceless marketing and in my opinion some of those channels are doing quite well. But some of that will depend on the target demographic as well as what you are selling/promoting.

[@tafheemyeasir1606]

No classical arabic dictionary mentions "khimar" as any kind of face veil. This is nothing but 20th century religious renewal where scholars like Allema Maududi said that, "while covering the face isn't explicitly mentioned in the Quran, it aligns with Musalman social values and as such, is obligatory".

Usually they are the ones who want equality with men in terms of similar roles and aren't happy with gender roles established in Islam.
