· 30 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Regarding niqab, is color permissible? Is there anything saying color is impermissible? Or will it depend on factors such as where you live.

Answer

It is important that the niqaab and abaya be totally unattractive.

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

Is the niqaab (face veil) compulsory?

“It is recorded in the Kitaabs of Fiqh that covering the nose and mouth in Salaah is Makrooh, hence covering the face in Salaah will also be considered as Makrooh.”
