Correct Ali Usman.
I know at least 5 women in our circle of friends who wear niqaab. They all go out and do their groceries, pick up kids from school, shop at malls, etc etc etc...they are very comfortable and happy. I think it's the rest of us who have a bigger issue worrying about them, perhaps because we don't feel comfortable in doing that.
Exactly, I agree, especially with the bold part. I know a few girls in College who wear the niqaab and they are really nice, friendly and comfortable (with themselves and around others).. it's totally their choice and they have every right to go out like that.
My guess is that they did take their niqaabs off for the College ID card pics, I've never really asked them or anything though.. I mean, its not like we walk around showing each other our cards so the topic has never really come to mind.
