Q: i am asking for a general thinking, face is the centre of body's beauty, we judje the beauty by the face, ( and it is also proven by this point that we give 90% attention on facial make up), if it attracts someone, and definetly it does, than why niqab is not a requirement to save onself, from the bad eyes.take it as a psychological way, not necessar in religious way.
A: That's a question after my own heart. I always wonder why people don't understand this simple logic. It is the main thing that makes people get into fitnah. For those who want the proof from Islamic sources: 'A'isha radi Allah anha used to say: "When (the Verse): 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms', was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces."(Hadith-Shahi Bukhari 6:282) As for the argument that Mary (A.S) didn't wear the veil, it doesn't matter. The Sharia'ah that was revealed to Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the last one, and we are not to follow the sharia'ahs of the previous ummahs.
