Re: Greatest Scholar Javed Ghamdi : Salute
Wearing Niqab is a good thing but its not required especially in western countries but if I'm in Yemen then I might wear it because its the culture.
there is difference of opinion among scholars, but to be safe it is better to go with understanding of the earlier and classical scholars: niqab is wajib regardless of culture
That particular ayah that firenze is talking about that contains word "juyubuhina" is according to some scholars for the women of Prophet's family only. Allah hu Alim
well, both of ayaat (Surah Ahzab 59 and Surah Noor 31) address Muslim women in general, and they contain the words جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ and جُيُوبِهِنَّ respectively. Which ayah contain the word kihmar? Because I think you may have misunderstood it for interpretation of these two words.
btw firenze, was Qur'an revealed in English? If you want to post the meanings of that word, use the Arabic dictionary.
