Question

I have read in the kitaab, Qudoori, that women need not cover their faces. Wearing niqaab is not compulsory since the face of a woman is not satr. Please comment.

Answer

Despite what you have read in

Qudoori, it is Waajib for women to conceal their faces in public. Your knowledge in this regard is defective. To understand the kutub of the Fuqaha, textual know-how is not sufficient. Something else called Noor-e-Fahm and Baseerat which are the effects of Taqwa are imperative for proper understanding of the kutub. There are many kuffaar who can read and translate the Arabic Hadith, Tafseer and Fiqh kutub better than you and us. But they remain kuffaar. So you remain stupid on account of the lack of Noor-e-Ilm. Thus, you look with squint eyes at the pages of

Qudoori, hence your corrupt conclusion.
