Question

My wife is not in niqaab but in hijaab Alhamdulilah. I however desire this in my wife and often admire women in niqab desiring this for myself. Am I wrong for having this desire? Have I sinned for wanting this even if not for my wife. My wife is slightly inclined to this but I am not pinning my hopes on this. Do you think this is just my desires disguised? Please give me advise as this is bothering me much.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
