’Awrah of a woman Infront of Ajānib (strange men) According to the stronger opinion, a woman’s `‘Awrah in this case includes her entire body, as well as her face and hands. Narrated ’Abdullāh: that the Prophet ﷺ said: ((الْمَرْأَةُ عَوْرَةٌ فَإِذَا خَرَجَتِ اسْتَشْرَفَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ)) “The woman is Awrah, so when she goes out, the Shaitan seeks to tempt her.” See link: https://youtu.be/ZshCEYNB1OU NOTE 1: Elderly women do not have to cover their face and hands, although that is better: ﴿وَٱلۡقَوَ ٰ⁠عِدُ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاۤءِ ٱلَّـٰتِی لَا یَرۡجُونَ نِكَاحࣰا فَلَیۡسَ عَلَیۡهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَن یَضَعۡنَ ثِیَابَهُنَّ غَیۡرَ مُتَبَرِّجَـٰتِۭ بِزِینَةࣲۖ وَأَن یَسۡتَعۡفِفۡنَ خَیۡرࣱ لَّهُنَّۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِیعٌ عَلِیمࣱ﴾ “As for elderly women past the age of marriage, there is no blame on them if they take off their ˹outer˺ garments, without revealing their adornments. But it is better for them if they avoid this ˹altogether˺. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” [Sūrah An-Nūr: 60] See link: https://t.me/mufradaatun/669 NOTE 2: There is no fixed age at which young girls must begin covering. The requirement depends on when they become capable of attracting attention or causing fitnah. Typically, this occurs around the age of nine, as stated by Shaykh Uthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy on him): «فمتى صارت البنت محلاً للرغبة والنظر إليها وجب عليها أن تحتجب، لكن في الغالب تسع سنين» ➡️ @womensbenefits
