The issue of niqab (also referred to as the face veil) has sparked much controversy in recent years. Public debate around niqab often include politicians, media outlets and various public organisations who suffer from a poor or distorted understanding of this religious act. This book aims to demystify the position of niqab within Islam by exploring evidence from the fountains of the faith: the Quran and the sunnah (traditions of the blessed prophet (PBUH). In exploring this subject matter with precision, we hope to clarify this act of worship and facilitate a greater understanding of the implications of niqab both on the individual and wider society.
