The general understanding in Islam regarding Sunnah, is that if the
Prophet or any of his wives (RA) or companions (RA) are recorded in
authentic hadith to have engaged in an act that is not haram
(prohibited) as defined by Qur’an or Sunnah, then the act is declared
halal (permissible). If the companions engaged in an act that the
Prophet was aware of and did not speak out against, it is halal.
It is well-known that the wives of the
Prophet covered their faces any time non-mahram men were near. A woman
named Asma, who was not a wife of the Prophet , was also recorded as
covering her face. Easily, one can conclude that wearing veil is halal
(permissible).
However, Muslims and Muslimahs across the
world have been in “hot debate” for centuries, over the issue of
whether or not covering the face is obligatory upon a Muslimah. Those
who argue that it is not required, point to the use of the word khimar
in the Qur’an, and explain that today’s modern khimar does not cover the
face, and argue that khimar has never referred to the covering of the
face, but only to that of the hair, neck, and bosoms. While one cannot
deny the support of Hadith that indicate that the Prophet’s wives wore
khimar, one must realize that they also covered their faces at all times
in the presence of non-mahram men.
The group of scholars agree that it is a
highly recommended act to cover the face. The scholars also agree that a
woman must cover her adornment, yet some scholars argue that this does
not include the face.
