Ramadan:women should uncover her face in ihram <is that true>?
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah said: The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in ihraam. When they came near us we would lower our jilbaabs from our heads over our faces, and when they had passed by we would uncover our faces. Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1562.
what do you think…….?
@ i love Allah
since 50 years ago most of Muslim’s women were wear niqab
so what is your reply ??
btw
most of them now do not wear an Islamic hijab should we follow them ??
and do not forget all women of ansr <shabbah > were wear aniqab .
I also heared that face must be open while a women is in Ihram
I don’t know why all of our Muffti and Imam says that not to cover face in the state of Ihram.
I didn’t found any evidence from Quran and Hadith about it. If Allah told to the Womens of Messengers to cover their faces, So may be it must be for all the Muslim women.
I found this information from a website while searching. But there is also not any proved given from Quran and Hadith.
Uncovering the face for women in the state of ihram while performing Hajj or `Umrah is related to the category of `ibadat (acts of worship), which are orders of Allah the Almighty. We believe such acts have infinite wisdom, for Almighty Allah is The All-Wise. He does not order anything unwise, and yet in order for us not to disrespect Allah the Almighty, scholars have classified them as ta`abbudi acts, which means that they are rituals that we must fulfill regardless whether their immediate benefits are clear or not.
Having said this, however, some of the purposes of uncovering the face during the state of ihram for women can be identified as follows:
First, training the soul to surrender to Allah’s commands without questioning His orders, and this constitutes full submission to Allah’s Will. Almighty Allah says: (And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His Messenger, he verily goeth astray in error manifest.) (Al-Ahzab 33:36)
Second, the rituals of Hajj and `Umrah are very akin to the scenes of the Day of Resurrection when people will be resurrected naked as they were born. The situation will be too hard for them to pay attention to that. The state of ihram is a symbolic reminder of this Day when everyone will pay no attention save to his own destiny and fate. Similarly, every pilgrim should concentrate only on the rituals of Hajj or `Umrah and empty his mind from every concern save devotion to Allah and surrender to His Will.
Third, during the state of ihram, Allah has commanded men not to cover their heads so that they show utter humbleness and surrender to Allah. Equally, a woman is commanded by Allah to do a similar thing that befits her special status (and particular code of dress) by uncovering her face, not her head.
I am so confused. Are we doing right or wrong to not cover our faces in the state of Ihram??
What shall we do??

EDIT: I tried answering your Last Q about Niqab and Cover Face Difference.. but yahoo is not allowing.. here is my answer: (i changed my word here to cover face)
Salam Alaikum… Yes there is a Difference between Niqal and Sadl.
I myself covered my Face with Sadl in Hajj… but it is not Fard for these 2 Reasons:
Aisha Saying it’s Optional (Sahih)
???? ????? ?? ??????? ???? ????? ??? ????? ?? ???? .
??????: - ??????: ???????? - ??????: ????? ?????? - ?????? ?? ?????: 14
????? ??? ??????: ?????? ????
Prophet saw and Sahabi saw a Beautiful woman in Hajj.. and he never told her to cover her face!
(Bukhari)
"?? ????? ?? ???? ?????? ???? ???? -??? ???? ???? ????- ?? ??? ?????? [??? ?????] ?????? ?? ???? ???? ???? ???? -??? ???? ???? ????- [???? ????? ????? ??????... ???? ????? -??? ???? ???? ????- ????? ??????]"? ?????? ????:
"???? ????? ?? ???? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? "??? ?????: ?????" "??? ?????: ???? ????? ???? ????? ?????? ?????" [????? ????] ???? ???? ???? -??? ???? ???? ????- ???? ????? ???? ???? ?? ???? ?????
_________
Salam Alaikum… I mentioned this in your other Q… but here it is again..
In Ihraam.. Not all women have to Cover her Face. For 3 Reasons:
1) Prophet saw said not to wear Niqaab during Ihraam
2) A woman in Hajj was Bare Faced infront of Prophet and Sahabah
A woman in Hajj (said to be after Tahlil) came to ask prophet a question while A Sahabi was looking at her beauty, and prophet turned his face away, not ordering her to cover her face (Bukhari)
"???? ????? ?? ???? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? "??? ?????: ?????"
3) Aisha RA said she has the ‘option’ of Wearing it…
???? ????? ?? ??????? ???? ????? ??? ????? ?? ???? .
??????: - ??????: ???????? - ??????: ????? ?????? - ?????? ?? ?????: 14
????? ??? ??????: ?????? ????

YES, and not follow the minority, our beloved Prophet, pbuh, taught if in doubt follow the majority:
The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said "Without doubt my Ummah will never be gathered in misguidance. Whenever you see disagreement, then hold fast to the Sawad-e-Azam (the great majority)" [Ibne Majah]
The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said " He who deviates from the largest group of Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam." [Abu Daud, Imam Ahmed]

For what Scholars of Islaam have said, see the following
The Islaamic hijaab http://islamfundamentals.wordpress.com/the-islaamic-hijaab
Do women have to wear niqaab? http://islamfundamentals.wordpress.com/do-women-have-to-wear-niqaab
When Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked about the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies”
[al-Ahzaab 33:59] –
he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the aayah was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) of this aayah, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmaani when he asked him about it.
For more information on the matter, refer to what the Scholars have mentioned
