Re: Should the Niqab be banned?
I never wrote that Niqab is forbidden in day to day life. If anyone wants to, be they man or woman, they can wear Niqab.
What I wrote is that Niqab is forbidden during Hajj. As far as Islam is concerned, one can walk around in whatever dress one wants to, as long as ‘Aurah’ is covered … and covering ‘Aurah’ is applicable during Hajj too.
Only thing is that, covering anything more than ‘Aurah’ is nothing to do with Islam. It is personal choice and sometime preferred choice. But to cover more than ‘Aurah’ and consider that as command of Allah, that is problematic (and sin too).
