Weakness of the report of Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that women have to cover one eye in their Hijabs/Niqabs and leave one open!

Posted byauthenticseerahPosted inUncategorized

قال ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : ” أمر الله نساء المؤمنين إذا خرجن من بيوتهن في حاجة أن يغطين وجوههن من فوق رؤوسهن بالجلابيب ويبدين عيناً واحدة ” .

Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “Allaah commanded the believing women, if they go out of their houses for some need, to cover their faces from the top of their heads with their jilbaabs, and to leave one eye showing.” (Please copy paste the links below, do not click them directly.)
