Should Niqab Cover Eyes?

Published in Islamic Dress Code 1 min read

No, the niqab should not cover the eyes. The niqab is meant to cover everything except the eyes.

According to the reference provided:

  • If the face is considered part of the awrah (parts of the body that must be covered), then the niqab is worn to cover the face.
  • The correct way to wear the niqab is to cover everything except the eyes, based on evidence from the Qu'ran and the Sunnah.

Therefore, the niqab's purpose is to conceal the face while leaving the eyes visible.
