I wanna wear niqab

[Niqaab]

assalamu alaikum

I wanna wear the niqab but I know my family gonna be like why you wanna be extreme?

Am thinking wear it undercover maybe?

I don't know, any advice anyone?

[The Deen]

Assalamu Alaykum,

It's hard to explain to family who are not used to the niqab, why you want to wear it and what the benfits are. They'll losten, but that's it. Their minds won't try to understand. However, over time, insha'Allah they will grow used to it and will relaise the true beauty of the niqaab.

I've learnt this from someone in my own family and also friends. It is very difficult at first, but that's with many things in life. It just takes time for people to relaise that you're not being 'extreme' but rather, following the commandments of Allah.

I pray that Allah maks it easy for you.

Wa Alaikum Salaam,

Your desire to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw) is very admirable. May Allah (swT) reward you for such a beautiful intention, Ameen.

What is the opinion you hold about Niqaab? Do you believe it to be Sunnah, or Fard?

With regards to wearing it under-cover, well since the niqaab is so apparant, and such an open display of following the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Then by default it is not possible, or at least extremely difficult to wear it behind your immediate family.

I am a man, thus I have no experience in this regard, nor do I know of anyone who was/is in your position. So please take what I say for whats it worth.

If you believe it to be Sunnah, then take gradual steps to achieve your aim, and do not overwhelm yourself. Start with making your immediate family understand. Speak with your mother and your sisters/brothers (etc.) about your desire to wear the niqaab. Maybe start by indirectly mentioning the niqaab, and it's merits in Islam, and then once you see that they have the love and appreciation for the niqaab, or at least show no hostility towards it, then tell them about your wish to also wear it.

But if you believe (from the Qu'an and the Sunnah) that it is an obligation upon you (i.e. fard), then wear it. And make sincere Dua' to Allah (swT) to make easy your burden.

May Allah (swT) make easy your path, and remove all obstacles in your way, opening each and every door for you, Ameen.

Hows a niqab undercover :scratch: ?

[.: Anna :.]

Sis i think if u believe it is not wajib, but mustahab only... and ur parents forbid u from wearing it, ur duty lies in obeying them in that because u would not be of the opinion that leaving the face open is haraam, and u cn only disobey them in haraam. If u want to try to persuade them its okay but do it with good speach and good manners, not in any kind of rude way or being impatient with them...
If u are of the opinion it is wajib or fardh to wear, then u will have to wear it but not undercover then, all the time..
So it depends on ur stance about this. Either way it is good to wear, u can make alot of dua for ur parents to become open to this idea and accept u to wear it insha allah.
Oh also the thing about obeying parents in this i am presuming unmarried? cos if u are married and ur husband gives u permission then u can do it even if they dont prefer u to wear it?? wallahu alam

Walaikum salam,

I had the same thing with my family and they hated it so much and I got a lot of flack from friends and family and even now some still think it is too much but Subhanallah, my mum and immediate family are totally fine with it and when we go to relatives homes and they say 'why are you wearing it indoors', my mum comes to my defense! :hidban:

Insha'allah, make dua and Insha'allah, Allah(swt) will make it easy for you! :up:

Walaikum Asalaam

Alhamdulillah I have been wearing niqaab for almost a year. My family nearly died of shock and I had to listen to all of the 'extremist' comments and my brothers still call me Osama.
It was very difficult at first especially as my family are not muslim. But I look at it this way......who will save me on the Day of Judgement, and who will give me a reward?
Will my family be the ones who allow me into Jennah insha Allah?
No.
I don't wear it inside, unless there are going to be people there that are haram to me. I wear it through choice, unlike my hijab which I wear under obligation to Allah subhanawat'Allah.

If you feel the need to wear niqaab, just wear it. Allah knows best.
Allah will not burden us with anything more than we can bear. Maybe this is a test for you..... I pray Allah makes it easy for you. Ameen.

The first thing a bloke looks at (of the opposite) gender is her face...

Do take note of others, ie like family etc. May Allah make it easy for you, Insha-Allah.

maybe find someone in ur family who wears it an adult so they might be a help to you and might offer to have a word with women in ur family?

may Allah help you,


i dont mean to go of topic but can anyone please tell me is niqab suunah, fard OR wajib, Mustahab?

and also if a husband does not allow his wife to wear it then what is she to do??

The Deen,

JazakAllhu Khayr, I have a feeling they gonna take the mick out of me but htink it's a friendly thing whilst on phone to so and so etc. My parents are divorced, I haven't a clue what my father wil think as he doesn't live with us.

K2YQBT,

I believe niqaab is Sunnah. When I mean undercover I mean, walk down the street, *look if anyone is aorund* slip it on. I've done al the gradual steps, I guess am apprehensive about taking that final step and putting it on!
Ameen to your du'a!

Kubra and Medievalist,

I didn't mean niqab is undercover I meant, put it on as soon as I leave house and no one is aorund as I live in a quiet deserted area.

Anna,

Yeh I am not married, I'd have it on now if I was without no hassle! I believe niqaab is mustahab yes. I guess you have a good point there, why cause trouble if I believe it is sunnah and not fardh. But then that will mean i'm too scared to ever do something that no one else has done. I mean imagine if this was me wanting to convert to Islam, what a chicken I would be about it!

Nazias,

InshAllah, I'll have the same self-belief and commitment you had, I've been thinking about it for couple of months now.

JazakAllahu Khayr everyone.

Salam,

You should go ahead and explain why you want to wear it and go ahead and do it, it's 7aram for them to forbid you from wearing a nigab. the prophet's wives wore them, .. but back to the topic..

For a guys point of view, wearing nigab will help you soo much when you try to find a husband. Men like playing around but when it comes to marriage they suddenly want a good women. so nigab will give you more points on the wife quality list.

wish more sisters out there had good intentions like u
