Re: Little girls in hijabs
i never said that niqaab was mandatory. however, some Muslims think it is…i’m not of the opinion that niqaaab is mandatory.
Islamically, every one must cover his/her satar [parts of the body that has to be covered]. a man’s satar is from 'just below the knee all the way up to just under the belly button34 while a woman’s satar is her entire body except face, hands and feet.
women are required to wear loose-fitting clothes plus something to cover their bosom oRhnii, dupaTTaa or scarf including hair, of course.
the above is the minimum required.
the more pious you are the more you will care about wearing the minimum required hijaab.
