"it is considered itself a private part, because when it appears, one feels shame from it just as one feels shame from a private part when it appears." This meaning is reinforced by the rest of the ḥadīth: "And when she goes out, Satan seeks her out." Shaykh ʿAlī al-Qārī said in "al-Mirqāt" (3/411): "That is, he beautifies her in the eyes of men. It is also said that he looks at her to tempt her and tempt others through her." The origin of (al-istishrāf) is to place your hand on your eyebrow and look, like someone shading themselves from the sun to see something clearly. Its origin is from al-sharaf: elevation, as if looking at it from a high place to perceive it better. "al-Nihāyah." There is no doubt that the mentioned seeking includes the woman even if she covers her face, for she is a private part in any case when she goes out. Thus, the ḥadīth is not related to the face of the woman being a private part in the fiqh sense, so reflect fairly. The majority of scholars hold that it is not a private part, and this is explained in my book "Jilbāb al-Marʾah al-Muslimah," which was recently published under this name "Jilbāb..." instead of the previous "Ḥijāb..." for a reason I mentioned in the introduction. I have sufficiently refuted the extremists in it, and I have referred those who desire detail to my separate book in response with elaboration and detail, in which I followed their doubts, showing that they are based on weak evidence in narration and understanding, and socially. I named it in a way that summarizes its content for you: "al-Radd al-Mufḥim ʿalá man Khālaf al-ʿUlamāʾ wa-Tashaddad wa-Taʿaṣṣab wa-Alzama al-Marʾah an Tastar Wajhahā wa-Kaffayhā wa-Awjab wa-Lam Yaqnaʿ bi-Qawlihim Innahu Sunnah wa-Mustaḥabb." May Allāh facilitate its completion and publication by His grace and generosity.
