Niqaab

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwaa.com

Asalamu alaikum mufti saab,

I plan on wearing the niqaab very soon alhamdulillah, this is a big step in my life for me. And I have been reading on this topic to educate myself before I start wearing the niqab inshallah.
I would like to ask please, when I go out to eat with my family, how will I eat whilst wearing the niqab?
jazakallah for your time, effort and response mufti saab!

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Masha Allah, this is such great news! May Allah make it easy for you….Ameen

Do not stress about how you will eat with the Niqab. You will learn the method very quickly, and with little practise, you will find it very easy.

You basically use you left hand to lift the Niqab a little, and you put the food in your mouth from beneath. Once you wear it, you will see how simple it is.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best

Wassalaam,

Ismail Moosa (Mufti)
