"...full veil is not mandatory in islam. it is sufficient for a woman to be dressed modestly, showing her face hands and feet up to the ankle. the practice of the niqab and full veil is to me an invention and we know where the invention leads..."

As this is not a religious thread and already warned by mods I can't comment much on this except that kindly read what Sister Fathema and yours truly -:) wrote on this topic in previous posts...in short to say that full veil is innovation is completely WRONG.
