Is wearing the Niqab/Pardah Fardh or Sunnah?
Question
Assalamu Alaikum Respected Mufti Saheb.
I would like Mufti Saheb to please respond to this.
A few girls were told about the obligation of covering and wearing pardah. An Aalim of the town told these girls that it is not Fardh and a must, it is a sunnah. He even contacted Muftis that also say its sunnah.
We would appreciate Mufti Saheb response and advice on what to do.
Jazakallah
