In my humble opinion, selecting the appropriate attire is very personal choice to make. Even presuming that Allah has not made the face and head covering OBLIGATORY for ladies, if a woman decide to do the same of her own accord, Allah would not hold her responsible for adding something to the religion.

However, it is not appropriate to force/beat/punish the ladies for not covering their face as was sadly done in Afghanistan. If you interpret the Holy Qur’an keeping the context in perspective, you will find that Allah has not made it incumbent on the Muslim ladies to cover their face. This is not Shari’ah and therefore it is cruel to force the ladies do something which Allah has not asked them to though they may cover their face of their own accord.

Just to share with you all, I have sometimes observed that FACE COVERING does get more attraction from men of low character. Looking at such men, I have observed that their sight keeps following such ladies to a considerable distance.

I personally feel that CHAADAR or Shawl is the most suitable covering for the ladies. As it amply covers the lady including her head with the hem little down on her face. And this is indeed the same as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an as JILBAB. The rays of modesty and elegancy emitted by this Chaadar cannot be compared with anything else.

(To AminahStar) I’d however like to know what is the difference between NIQAB and FACE COVERING?

(To the Doc.) I do not think ladies covering their FACE are one step ahead of other ladies not covering their face. TAQWA though is reflected in actions but it is much related to our Inner State especially as regards the matter where Allah has not given His Decree.
