Muslim women need to keep a veil on their body and face to
protect themselves against men with weak hearts, a senior Saudi Islamic
scholar has said.
Sheikh Abdullah Al Manei, member of the 7-man supreme scholars authority in the oil-rich Gulf kingdom, admitted that women’s face veil has been a 'bone of contention' among the Islamic scholars for a long time.
“Scholars have differed on whether women can unveil their faces…this matter has been a bone of contention for a long time,” he said, quoted by 'Sada' newspaper.
“But the veil can be part of the woman’s commitment to preserving her dignity and chastity…covering her face will protect her from men with weak hearts.”
