Assalamualaikum Brothers and Sisters,
I do not know if this topic has been discussed or not, but I have a question regarding the Niqab and what the Quran says about wearing it. Recently a member of my family has begun wearing the Niqab (Mashallah) because she has learned that it is mandatory. Now I have never heard that it is mandatory to wear the Niqab (I have gone to Islamic School myself) and we have been having constant discussions on whether it is 100% mandatory for a woman to wear the Niqab. I do try to stay clear of the topic myself as I do not wear it myself so I do not want to make a concrete statement for something that I don't practice. I would really appreciate Quranic verses regarding the issue.
Jazakallah Khair and may Allah bless all of us and lead us to the straight path.
