Niqab! Its so ugly! I walk along the streets of Dhaka, I see these fat, dumpy, unhealthy women waddling along wearing this ridiculous costume! I now also see little girls - 8 or 9 years old maybe - also wearing this ridiculous thing, walking alongside their waddling mothers, fully draped in black, like some alien monster! Where did this practice come from? Is it really in Islam? Where is the evidence? Did the Prophet (saaw) command women to dress is this ridiculous fashion? Did women in during the Prophet's time wear this thing? Did the Prophet(saaw) command women to stay shut up in their houses and not come out, like these women do? Did not men and women pray together at the mosque during the Prophet(saaw)'s time? I remember reading something to that effect when I was Sunni, in Bukhari. For Allah's sake dear brothers and sisters let us get rid of this ridiculous thing!
