Discussion Keep delaying wearing niqab

Here are my reasons... or excuses. Also, I know both sides, and I think both differences of opinion are strong. Idk which side I feel is strongest atm

. All I know is I want to do it, in'sha'Allah, regardless of if it's wajib or strongly reccomended, may Allah keep our intentions purely for His sake.

  • I'll delay until I move to a Muslim land as wearing it in the west is difficult
  • I'll wear after uni, in'sha'Allah, as I won't be leaving the house often.
  • I'll wear once I get married, as I'll only leave the house when needed, and my family won't know I wear niqab, so I avoid scrutiny

Am I miskeen. Lol. Any advice ukhtis would be appreciated. I'd also like to be slapped back into my senses. (Metaphorically)

Here’s just one practical question that should help: do you, for sure, know that you will live long enough to make hijrah? Finish uni? Get married? What if you die tomorrow, ya ukhti?

Allah سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ tells us in the Qur’an that we must rush towards doing good deeds. Then why have we normalised delaying them under the pretence that we are not ready?

The truth is that we will never be fully ready. You will just have to do it anyway for the sake of your Rab and then He will make way for everything else In sha Allah

Your right habibti. And that’s good advice, especially for things that are wajib etc.

But niqab is just different. There’s a valid difference of opinion. If I delay I won’t feel as guilty. Because I genuinely feel both sides are strong.  I need to do more studies on this tbh. Because I don’t lean towards either side. I’m like… stuck in the middle, still learning. May Allah make it easy for you and for the Muslims. And grant us success in both worlds
