Description from the publisher: This is the 3rd edition of the book "Three Essays on the Obligation of Veiling" which was published in 2003 and received with warm acceptance by the English-speaking Muslims to the point that there was a need for it to be reprinted since the original edition has run out, all praise be to Allaah.

“So if this was the way of the sahaabiyaat, then it is not befitting for us to refain from following this way, which if followed exactly, will earn us the pleasure of Allah”

Even if it makes you uncomfortable, it is definitely worth a read. Clear adilah (evidences) from Qur’an and Sunnah presented. May Allah make it easy to reach the levels of our female pious predecessors in wearing the correct hijab🤍.

[Heather · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book presents a very Saudi/Wahabbi interpretation of Islam - that covering the face is mandatory and not doing so is a sin. No acknowledgment is made of the fact that most scholars - who are not Saudi Salafis - agree that hijab is fard; niqab is not, and in many places its wearing is discouraged on the basis of danger to women and increased alienation in society. Read it if you want, but keep in mind that their opinions are the minority and that the consensus of the scholars globally is that niqab is not fard.

I highly recommend this book if you want to learn about hijab, the niqab, and tabbaruj. It also mentions great points, and of course, there are credible proofs (hadiths and Qur'an verses) to back everything up. After reading it, I truly think every Muslim woman should read this book and check it out in sha Allah!
