Is the Hadith that states, "A woman who is completely veiled, were she to walk on urine, would purify it," authentic, and what is its full text?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no hadith that links forgiveness to wearing the hijab. However, the hijab is sufficiently virtuous because it is a divine command in the Holy Quran. A woman who adheres to the hijab is compliant with the law of Allah, and she deserves forgiveness as stated in the Quran: "Indeed, Muslim men and Muslim women... Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward." A woman who wears the full hijab, while also embodying chastity and modesty, protects herself and her honor. Allah has promised women who protect their honor forgiveness and a great reward, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, guaranteed them Paradise.
