Haitham al-Haddad – The Niqab

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Haitham al-Haddad addresses the issue of niqab from a scholarly and *fiqhi* perspective, refuting the claim that the Quran contains no reference to covering the face. He presents four key points of scholarly consensus, including the tafsir of Ibn Abbas on Surah Al-Ahzab, the unanimous position of Islamic scholars that niqab is either obligatory or highly recommended, and the agreed-upon cases in which covering the face is required, such as for attractive women and during times of fitna.
