/islam/ - 8kun Masjid

No it's not mandatory. The Maliki school considered it extreme way back, and said it was better not to wear it. That's not even considering the modern issues and why it shouldn't be worn in ajmi countries. Btw stop listening to al albani, not even salafis take his fatwas seriously, and he's basically the founder of the movement.

false

Difference of opinion, hanbalis consider it wajib, the 3 other schools consider it mustahab (liked) but not wajib (obligatory). You can think like the hijab is the minimum, if you want to cover more its fine.

What you think of it is irrelevant if you mock it then you are directly mocking a legitimate opinion of islam and hurting fellow muslims.

Stop copy pasting islamqa as fact. They're not an authority on any of the schools of law.

Ibn Mas’ood reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: “The woman is ‘awrah.”

This is a clear-cut proof that every part of a woman is ‘awrah (i.e. must be covered) in front of male strangers, whether that includes her face, or any otter part of her body. In fact, her face and hands have the most right to be covered since they are the areas that are sought after by men and the places of enticement from women.

Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal understood well the aforementioned hadeeth of Ibn Mas’ood, as he said:

“A woman’s fingernail is ‘awrah (i.e. it must be covered). So when she goes out from her home, she must not reveal any part of herself, not even her khuff (sock), for the chuff describes the foot. What is preferred, in my opinion, is that she put a button on her sleeve where her hand is so that nothing could be exposed from her.”
