Assalamu alaikum,

The most authentic opinion is that niqab is mandatory.

I do not believe that niqab is FARD and I always practice full Hijab without niqab. However, when I have to travel alone in a taxi or when I go for a walk alone etc…I sometimes drape my headscarf in such a way over my face, leaving only my eyes open because I fear there is fitna. Otherwise I only dress with Hijab. Is my dressing correct according to Islamic Sharia?

Why do women have to cover way more than men. I understand that men feel attracted to women but it is the same for women feeling attracted to men. However men only have to cover from navel to knee where as women have to cover EVERYTHING apart from their face, hands and feet. Also nowadays there are gay men..so men should cover from head to toe too.
