Is the new attire, which combines a long shawl and a niqab that reveals the eyes, while abandoning gloves, unlawful in Islamic law? And is it considered evidence of temptation and a lack of faith?
The niqab is a face covering that conceals a woman while allowing her eyes to show. It is permissible if its opening is limited to what is necessary, and wearing it is not an indication of weak faith. Covering the hands with gloves or similar items is obligatory.
