Ustad Abdul Samad Qazi-Zada said in a video published on his YouTube channel that hijab is obligatory for Muslim women, but covering the face and hands is a matter of scholarly disagreement and should not be considered mandatory.
Citing Quranic verses, hadiths, and various Islamic jurisprudential views, he said that women may choose whether or not to cover their faces.
His remarks have drawn reactions from some users and religious circles. Critics, citing certain Quranic verses and hadiths, argue that covering the face in the presence of non-mahram men is obligatory.
