Mashallah, I have noticed couple years ago, it was hard to find niqaabis here in the west, now you see them everywhere. The dacwa of the ahlul Salaf is spreading like wildfire and Somali female youth have embraced it.

I am so happy!

I think it just indicates the spread of Saudis or those who have lived in Saudi.

I hardly ever see any and when I do its such a strange occurrence that I can't help but stare a little.

I am also very happy Nothing is sexier than a sister in a niqaab

Why would you stare? is not that strange. I personal think niqaab is a bit excessive and unnecessary, but more power to those who wear the niqaabs

Easy for you someone from Saudi to say

fah, so why did the believing women (including the wives of rasuulallah SCW) wear the niqaab/face covering??

I saw a woman wearing it on the train. She was also pushing a child along on this stroller, rather clumsily because the garb obviously obstructed her eyesight. Every single person on the train was looking right at her. Appears to be little more than an attention whoring device for the ‘holier than thou’ crowd imo.

Fah,

I don't see anything wrong with it, it's a personal choice, but I will never wear it.

Union live and let live.

surely if it is a 'Saudi' thing then why would the best of women wear it if it wasn't necessary or it was just tradition?

As a Muslim, you should have engaged in a brotherly conversation with her, to ease her feeling of discomfort from every single person on the train looking at her. Instead, you've compounded her discomfort.

why would men want women to cover up?

if it was a "man made law" then surely instead of the niqaab we would want women to wear bikinis and so would any other man.

the niqaab and the hijab suppress men more then it does to women.

I believe people like her need to be sent to “reeducation camps” in the future secular Somalia.
