I would
like to know what defines transparent according to Shar’iah. With regards to
the burqa I wear for salaah if I put one layer in front of me I can see through
it however (the colour of my skin is not visible) when it is on my head the
layer that falls in the back makes it dark. So one is unable to see through. If
I wear it and stand in front of the mirror I am unable to see anything through.
