Although there is a difference of opinion on covering the face, there is a consensus on the fact that a woman must cover the hair when in public. It is a matter of consensus that the four madhabs and even the unorthodox madhabs all stated. No mujtahid ever disagreed on it. The one who does not believe it is mandatory is a kafir according to consensus, because believing a sin to not be a sin is kufr. And there is no difference of opinion on the subject to save one from that. If a woman doesn’t wear the hijab but still believes it to be mandatory, she is safe from kufr. Otherwise, she has gone against an agreed upon sin and is thus a kafir by consensus.
Imam Abu Hanifah, one of the great authorities of creed concerning the salaf, said: “We do not declare any Muslim a disbeliever because of a sin, however grave, 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞." [Fiqh Al akbar]
The hadith above is only one of the evidences of how the salaf understood the ayat of the hijab. The ijma’ (consensus) on the subject, however, is sufficient. So the next time you come upon a person who doesn’t believe the hijab is mandatory, it is upon you to inform them of their disbelief in the Religion of Allah.
Yet some people have “realized” 1400 years later that it is actually not an obligation, that the mujtahids were wrong. So according to their logic, their 21st century innovated opinion is correct, while Imam Malik, who learned from 900 of the Medinan salaf, 300 of whom were tabi’een (students of the companions), was wrong. Similarly, Imam Abu Hanifah, who met sahaba and studied under the elder tabi’een of kufa and many of the descendants of the Prophet ﷺ, including his great grandsons Zaid Ibn Ali and Jafar Ibn Muhammad, was wrong.
As you can see, the claim is bogus. May Allah help us against these innovators who have plagued us.
