Hadith Asma Bint Abi Bakr Where She Talks About Covering Faces In Front Of Men
This is about Hazrat Ayesha on the occasion of Hajj. Since covering the face is forbidden in Hajj and since special directives of the Hijab were ordained for the wives of the prophet, therefore they used to cover their faces occasionally when men passed by. However, other women did not cover their faces.
Sir, why Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (rta) covered her face, when she was not Umm al-Mu’minin. But, a sister of Sayyida Aisha (rta)?
