Salaam brother,

I have a pluralistic view to the issue. I think the choice to wear one is individual preference and what one feels comfortable with. My daughters do not wear any of the aforementioned because it is culturally alien to us and as you mentioned neither hijab nor niqaab are mentioned in the Quran. As long as cultural modesty is observed it really comes down to a matter of subjectivity; right? Of course, intent is important.

I am not intransigent to different opinions and views and welcome your comments and/or concerns.

Salaam Alaykum brothers and sisters.

Mashallah, I think sister Heba did a great job defending her reasoning behind why it is she wears the niqaab. Sister Mouna put up the argument that it is not even mentioned in the Quran but I feel it is a bit of a wrong of her to use that argument considering how she is dressed. I believe that both sisters have a right to dress as they wish though as it does say in the Quran that they who wish to believe let them believe and they who don't, let them disbelieve. In the end we will all be brought to our Creator and He will be the best to judge.

I am curious though as to everyone else's opinions on this given the subject line...sorry for the late reply though.

Asalaam aleykum,
