The majority opinion, however, of most Islamic scholar is that a niqab wearer (niqabi) is required only to refrain from criticizing other women (including hijabis) who cover all their body except for their face, with the niqabi also required to refrain from forcing her niqab wearing practice upon others against their will. In exchange, a niqabi who wears the niqab because she thought it was obligatory or because she had been taught it was obligatory shall also not be criticized for wearing the niqab.
