Do you have children? If you attend get-togethers with your children, say in parks or at other childrens' homes, will you feel comfortable attending with your face covered? Do you feel comfortable communicating with your children's doctors, teachers, etc, with your face covered or will it be an impediment? If you can afford to hire a nanny or someone to attend these tasks on your behalf, then, you won't have any problem whatsoever and indeed Allah has made it easy for you. If you cannot have someone in your place, or you are a single mother, there may be some obstacles.
Assalamu 'alaykum
I don't see how the niqaab could affect communication btw.
I'm not saying women use niqaab for those reasons, lol.
Another example, lets say you are a university student and you have to do a presentation in front of a large audience, or defend your thesis before a panel -- wouldn't there be a problem, at the very least, of clear audible articulation?
Muffled voice wouldn't be a problem.Besides, how can you have a useful conversation with a teacher, doctor, etc, when your voice is muffled?
The perception of niqaabi women in the west is like a massive negative tide, no sister, who also works in some of the professional fields can combat that tide single handedly, she cannot and I would go as far as saying she should not try to do so, for the sake of her own health and wellbeing.A woman in niqab in this society is not an assertive woman..

There is Fatwa and then there is Taqwa. Minimum Hijab is to cover everything but the face, feet, and palms of the hands. There is a second opinion that covering the face is also minimum. Since there are two valid opinions, one can do either one. But as I said before, there is fatwa and then there is taqwa. So a women with more taqwa would definitely choose the niqab.
