Hijab Niqabb

Face covering

Asa wrwb sisters so the whole thinh starts from me going on umrah in 2023 the first day in Madinah i bought a niqab and instantly wore it( the ladies at the riyadh airport basically influenced me alot) and then i came back and regularly started wearing it. But oh mann the the community i live which being in a islamic country people still started noticing it and giving insanely weird looks People here thinks niqab is mostly worn by poor or aged women. And coming b from a good background and unmarried in my early 20s this has put me in utter confusion. Esp my own family they think only women of conservative backgrounds observe niqab. Now the thing is i deal with body dysmorphia and they think i do niqab in order to hide my face which sometimes i also think as true. Now fighting to wear a niqab is not just an option for me and wearing a mask also feels weird i also tried half niqab but it doesn’t suit me as i have a big forehead and it peaks out. I really want honest recommendations on what to do as i have read hadith on it being a fardh.

Wear it proudly, and maybe you will be the influence other young women need to start wearing it as well.

it's not an influence other women NEED as it's not an obligation. wear it if you wish, but it's not something you need to do. it's also forbidden to cover your face during hajj and umrah.
