Former actor Zaira Wasim has shared a post about how it’s purely her choice if she chooses to eat food without removing her niqab. She reacted to a follower’s tweet which had a picture of a woman eating with her hand while still wearing the niqab which covered her face completely. While most of her followers supported her on Twitter, some mentioned that one could remove niqab while having food
The picture was shared by a Twitter user with the caption: “Is this a choice of a human being?” Reacting to the tweet, Zaira wrote on Twitter on Sunday, “Just attended a wedding. Ate exactly like this. Purely my choice. Even when everyone around me kept nagging me that I take the niqab off. I didn’t.”
Many of her followers hailed her for her views on wearing the niqab. A person commented, “We don’t do it for you. Deal with it. Exactly @ZairaWasimmm loved your reply. Purely our choice” Another wrote, “Stop telling her what to do and what not, it’s her life and her belief so leave her alone.” One more wrote, “May Allah give you more power and dignity to follow your religion. Ameen.”
A Twitter user also suggested, “Aurat ko aurat se parda nahi hai (women are not required to hide face from women). You can remove your hijab or nosepiece if you are in a separate ladies’ section. My wife and mother also do wear veil but when they are in a dedicated woman section and eating along with other women they take it out and eat peacefully #DontMakeItComplex #Hijab.”
