Selling half niqaabs

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2023-01-10 05:50

Q: Is it permissible to sell half niqaabs where eyebrows and forehead are exposed just to encourage sisters in their journey of covering the face ? (because a lot of times in the beginning it's hard for sisters to take a full niqaab).

A: The purpose of the niqaab is for a woman to save herself from strange men looking at her. These types of half niqaabs attract more attention towards a woman. It should not be that these types of half niqaabs seem more attractive to men thereby leading to fitnah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
