Question

Assalamu Alaikum Respected Mufti Saheb.

I would like Mufti Saheb to please respond to this.

A few girls were told about the obligation of covering and wearing pardah. An Aalim of the town told these girls that it is not Fardh and a must, it is a sunnah. He even contacted Muftis that also say its sunnah.

We would appreciate Mufti Saheb response and advice on what to do.

Jazakallah

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
