Niqab in Focus (Folder)

Every now and then, the issue of wearing niqab (women's face veil) raises stirring controversies, even among Muslims. The latest incident is that of Al-Azhar Grand Imam, Sheikh Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, who ordered a schoolgirl to remove her niqab, expressing determination to prohibit its wearing in Al-Azhar schools. He added that niqab is a tradition and that it has no connection with religion.
We need to clarify here that Tantawi's stance on niqab, as well as his recent statement, should not be considered as a phenomenon. The topic itself should be digested in light of the views and stances of the majority of jurists and scholars who have tried to tackle this important issue beyond the level of controversy.
Without being dragged into the debate and argument surrounding the case of Imam Tantawi and the context of his statement, Living Shari`ah dept. attempts to further explore the issue, hoping that this folder could shed more light on the topic.
