I wish to wear Niqab

[hayat84]

:salam2:
my dears,since I reverted to Islam,I chenged many things,I emproved myself and avoided all those things that are harmful for me.I started wearing hijab,wearing with long clothes,I don't listen to music,I avoid the discussions....now,the next step I wish to do is wearing something which covers my face in a total way.in few words.:I wish to wear Niqab.I often read on tti matters about niqab,in Morocco I see many women wearing it and I feel inspired to follow their example.but there is aproblem,because somebody doesn't agree.fiest of all my sweetheart.secondly,somebody told me that it isn't necessary for me to wear niqab,because it isn't Sunnah.today I bought the "khimar"(I thinks it is the name of a hijab which covers the shoulders and part of the arms).I think I'll make a surprise to my husband,when he'll see me totally covered...but I also know that he won't agree with my choice.but now,he's far from me and I need to protect myself from the sight of others.which advice can you give me?is there some sister who wear niqab and has no problem with it?

Masha' Allaah ukhti, may Allaah bring ease to your choice to please Him. Ameen.

The niqaab: http://islam-qa.com/en/ref/21134/niqaab

A case almost similar to yours, a case in which a man's parent doesn't want his wife to wear niqaab, and if he should obey them: http://islam-qa.com/en/ref/9155/niqaab

Allaah Hafiz.

sister,I read the links you posted,but they didn't help me much,I'm confused more than before.I already wear hijab,little by little I discovered that I like to be more covered.If I'll choose the way to cover totally myself,am I disobeying or not?if a woman for example wants to fast,she should have the permission of the husband,but what about wearing Niqab?I really need to be more covered,I only show a little bit my eyes,may Allah will be angry with me,if I will not listen to what my husband says?I also know that in Italy niqab is illegal,but I have a fire in my heart and I need to switch it off.I feel pulled toward this direction since some months,but I always delayed.

There is a difference of opinion of the scholars on hijab or niqab. One group says that niqab is not necessary but better. The other makes it compulsory. You should follow the one you deem more right through judging by evidences from the Quran and Sunnah. Your husband is in no authority to stop you following a fundamental of Islam. So if your views suggest that Niqab is more correct, then you should do it.

Just for a thought: What if your husband asked you not to wear hijab? Would you do it?

Likewise your husband cannot force his fiqh preferences on you.

thanks for your answers!!!my husband loved(and he still loves)me as I am.at first he didn't do what a muslim should do,maybe also because I was too much occidental,so he never forced me to wear hijab.It was me,who read,studied and understood why a muslim woman must cover.I accepted hijab with no suggestions.I was a great "mustakbara" and might have never accepted if my husband had told me to cover my hair.but Allah Kabir!about Niqab,since I'm in Morocco,far from my sweetheart,I felt pulled toward a major faith and necessity to applicate it.my husband says that he likes to look at me while wearing hijab,while if I wear Niqab,he couldn't look at me,because I'm totally covered.Time by time I going around for shops to look for the black veil which covers the face,leaving only the eyes uncovered,but I didn't find it.I saw many wome wearing niqab and never had the time to stop them and ask why do they wear it,because they seem to go faster than me and in my pregnancy it's impossible for me to walk too fast..I am still thinking to that beautiful woman in niqab I saw in the mosque.when she entered with the women,she uncovered her face and hands,and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen:ma:

Assalamu allaicum wa raahmatullah wa baarkatuhu dear sister

Mashallah for your decission and your pure intentions to even cover your face for the sake of Allah. Do not forget sister to ask gudiance of Allah and that He makes you strong in your deccission if that is good for you.

But I think sister that you should first ask your husband, does he agree and is he pleased with that you wear niqaab, because I know that wife should not do something with what her husband is not pleased because than Allah is also not pleased with that deed, only is allowed for her in the case of fard obligations toward Allah. And after asking gudiance of Allah, you should talk with your husband and hear his advices and his opinion. I hope Inshallah some other brother and sister have better knowledge and can explain you better Inshallah.:shymuslima1:

And dear sister the most importante is that you put your trust in Allah,and always ask gudiance of Allah in everything.SubhanAllah wa bi hamdihi wallahu Akbaar

May Allah bless you

sister,if what you said is true(and it's true)the day I'll be able to wear niqb I'll be a widowbecause I certainly know that he doesn't agree at 100%.he feel ashamed(as sign of respect toward me) to walk beside me while I wear hijab.let's imagine how would he feel if I walk beside him in niqab while he wears jeans and t-shirt:shake:.maybe I should wait until I'll be alone,if I'll not die before my husband:muslim_child:

I do not know dear sister is this correct from Islamic view and that is why I said it will be better that some other brother or sister who are more knowledgable in this matter to expalin you better Inshallah but I belive it is truth and Allah knows the best.

Dear sister it does not metter if your husband does not wear Islamic cloth, because Muslim man can wear jeans and t-shirt but it should be loose, because the same like Allah subhan wa teala is ordering us to cover ourselfe with hijaab or niqaab Alhamdulillah, it is the same ordered for Muslim man, because Allah is ordering us modesty Alhamdulillah.

May Allah help you in your deccission dear sister.

I will keep you in my duas.

dear sister Asja,you're kind to me.if I arrived to wear islamic clthes,I have to thank Allah and my husband too,it's not a problem for me how he dresses(he's handsome and I really like him),but spiritually talking,my degree of faith has increased terribely.when in sh Allah I'll go to Hajj,I'll wear my islamic clothes,as I'm doing now.about my husband,will he go to Hajj in jeans and t-shirt?:muslim_child:I see many niqabed women walking with teir husband and they bothe wore long dresses.:salam2:

 

[Abu Abdillah]

Niqab or Not to Niqab?

Assalamu alaykum,

All I can say is Don't worry about what people think, One plus of it changes your behavior completely. And What People think they will never be satisfied, whether we wear hijaab/abaya/nikaab we appear foreign to them so there's no need to constantly seek their approval. You have to think about this carefully, because some sisters wear nikaab and then after a couple of months take it off so be sincere and do it for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'aala and in sha Allah it will be made easy for you.

Ah,brother,I am sincere in my actions,in these months I've realized many things that neither the price of gold can compare to them.I only need to be in peace and want to get far from the sight of others.I don't even fear the judge of others...if only I had a little bit of approvation from my husband,I'd make my dream true.I would have made it true many months ago.that's why I'm asking for advices.I fell in a status of depression because I feel uncomplete.in the same time I fear about my husband.in Itlay it's illegal...I would wear it also if it's illegal,becuase my faith can defeat anything,but I have children and fear that if I challenge italians,I'll be put in the jail as a criminal.I am so sad..I don't know how much time I'll live in Italy;in Morocco I live as a free woman,nobody touches me,and looks how I dress.maybe as I said before,I'll wear it when I'll be alone:shymuslima1:

 

[sachin4islam]

Assalamu Alaikum:

Change your words from ''I wish to wear Niqab" to ''I am firm to wear Niqab". This is what a commitment required from a Muslim. Just an advice from a brother.

Regards.

Alhamdulilah my sister, we should always try to be kind toward other Muslims

Dear sister it is not allowed for us Muslim women to speak about physical appearance of our husband infront of stranger woman, or for Muslim man to talk about apperiance of his wife infront of other stranger man.

Regarding your question about Muslim man are wearing ihrams when they are preforming Hajj and not thier regular cloth. Ihrams are white, seamless garments which Muslim man are obligated to wear when they are preforming Hajj.

I agree with you dear sister that it is better for the sake of Allah, that Muslim man also wear longer and looser cloth( Islamic cloth) to keep more modesty in one society. And Allah knows the best.

I pray that Allah make you firm in your deccision that you wear niqab dear sister for His sake and that He be pleased with you always.Ameen Ya Rabby for all of us.

:salam2:
brother Sachin4Islam,yes I'm firm to wear niqab,the title expressed my modesty,I didn't want to create a debate in which there is who agrees and who not.even if I'm firm,I am alone against many ones.the only one who agrees with me is my brother in law.nobody else understand my "necessity".If I wear it and my husband says to put it off?what will I do?I obey or not?

 

[msmoorad]

salaams to all

i admire sisters like you who are happy to follow the sunnah despite the pressure from family & society to follow the ways of the west.

may Allah ta'ala make it easy for you & guide you to what is best.

and Allah ta'ala knows best
jazakallah

amin!:tti_sister:May Allah guide me towards Him as much as possible,so much,that I'll be close to Him enough to enjoy His Light.
I knew some minutes ago from my husband that when I purposed him that I want to wear niqab,he laughed ironically and said me "no".
I have to surrender and obey.But I bet that in some years I'll do it without any permission:muslim_child:
