It is recommended not to pay attention to the words of the idle and to rise above their insults, following the saying of Allah the Almighty: "And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them, they say [ woorden van] peace." It is also recommended to maintain remembrance of Allah (), connection with Allah the Almighty, and the Qur’an, for it is a healing for what is in the chests. As for the niqab, it is obligatory for a Muslim woman if it does not cause harm, and this has been detailed in previous fatwas.
