Paperback - 125 pages,
by Syed Mutawalli ad-Darsh.
Introduction by M.Mazheruddin Siddiqi.


Description :


The debate on Muslim women's dress is endless. The sisters who opt for niqab (face veil) may appear to be brave, but we need to dispel the notion that niqab is what is originally required by the Qur'an, and the hijab is a later modified version of the original. In fact the other way round is true.


The sisters who don the ordinary hijab can rest assured that they are following the injunctions of the Qur'an and Sunnah to the letter, and in their true spirit.


In these essays, Dr. Syed Mutawalli ad-Darsh examines the subject from the point of view of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Ijma. Dr. ad-Darsh, was born in Egypt, who memorised the entire Qur'an at the age of 12. He later went onto study at al-Azhar University, in Cairo, where he also worked as a lecturer and an Imam.


This book gives, evidences from Qur'an, Hadith and from the books of fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence).
