Tantawi calls for a ban on niqab

[Deeba1234]

Niqab is not farz. It’s not even sunnah. Look up the hadith’s. There is a clear hadith which outlines what exactly remains uncovered, and the face is on the list.

In the Quran, I believe its Surah Nisa, requires that you as a female communicate so that they may see your face.

As per Islam, you are required to show your face.

I’ve always wondered why people think it’s farz when at the most holy place of all at Hajj a woman is instructed to** not cover her face** (tho I know some women get round this by having their niqab not technically touching their face using some sort of cap thing)..

Having said that I don’t think it’s right to ban it outright, just as I don’t veil I don’t think it’s fair that other women should be forced to remove the veil either.
