Praise be to Allah.
Yes, it is permissible for a woman to show her eyes. That is so that she will be able to see. But it is not permissible for men to look at the eyes of a woman.
Because she might be a jinn!

Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Humayd (may Allah sit on him) said:
If the burqa covers the entire face, leaving only the eyes uncovered, there is nothing wrong with that. But if it does not cover the entire face, rather it covers the mouth and leaves the rest of the face uncovered that is not permissible, especially in the presence of non-mahram (men you can marry) men.
The only men who can see you are the men you can’t marry.
The only men who can see you are the men you can’t marry.
So the entire face must be covered, but the eyes may be left uncovered so that the woman can see where she is going, as was said by Ibn Mas’ood, ‘Ubaydah al-Salmaani and others.
And if they allowed seeing eye dogs, then there would be no need at all for a woman to see where she is going.

But other (Saudi) male scholars said the following;
And Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him for the hellfire) said:
There is nothing wrong with covering the face with the niqaab or burqa’ [kinds of face veil] which has two openings for the eyes only, because this was known at the time of the Prophet, because there is a need for that. If nothing shows but the eyes, that is acceptable, especially if that is what women customarily wear in that society.
Translation; the 7th century was the best century ever.

Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah,
But we should note that the majority of women, nowadays, do not stop at uncovering the eyes only, rather they go beyond that and uncover part of the forehead and nose, so they go beyond the area that it is permitted for them to show. Hence some of the scholars – such as Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen – forbade wearing the burqa’ and niqaab, because of the careless attitude on the part of some women.
He is allowed to forbid and allow what Allah had not. And it’s almost his feeding time.

A Muslim asks a scholar
My question has to do with niqab. I read on your website and many Islamic websites that the niqab is fard (obligatory) and women must wear niqab, but they can leave their eyes uncovered so that they can see where they are going.
What concerns me is: is it obligatory for us to cover our eyes if I am not walking and there is no need to see where I am going
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly: by now everyone should know that firstly means; they make it up.
What the woman must do is cover her face because of a great deal of sharia evidence which indicates that it is obligatory for the woman to cover her face in front of non-mahram men.
Because the scholars believe everyone is as perverted as they are.

And she has two ways in which she can cover: Either she may lower down on her face something that will cover it completely and not let anything of it show, and she can see through that cover.

or she may wear the niqab (face veil) which is that which covers the face but leaves the eyes uncovered.
They don’t want her blindly running into a man she could marry

Because Bukhari says: “The woman in ihram should not wear niqab or gloves.” The fact that the woman in ihram is forbidden to wear niqab indicates that it is permissible to wear it when not in ihram.
Shut up buky!
Shut up buky!
Hence the fuqaha’ and scholars said that it is permissible for a woman to wear niqab, but that is on condition that she does not go to extremes in uncovering the eye socket or show too much of the cheeks.
The scholars are so fuqha’d up. There should be a law that says their mouths should always be covered up.

Imam al-Ramli ash-Shaafa‘i (may Allah sit on him, too) said:
It is haraam to look at a woman in niqab of whom nothing can be seen except her eyes, especially if she is beautiful. How much fitnah may be caused by looking at a woman’s eyes. End quote from Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj
Open quote. Why aren’t they telling men to lower their gaze? Women do not commit fitna, men who can’t control their damn selves commit fitna.

24:30 Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and to be mindful of their chastity: this will be most conducive to their purity – verily, God is aware of all that they do

It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah: With regard to the niqab: Abu ‘Ubayd said, describing the niqab according to the Arabs: it is that from which the eye appears. It was known by other names, including “burqa‘”. As for the ruling on it, it is permissible.
Not according to the Quran which says; religion should not be a burden
4:28 God wants to lighten your burdnes: for man has been created weak;;’
Notice how it doesn’t say; women we have to make religion a burden on you because men have been created weak?

Secondly: Firstly sucked
The ruling that it is permissible for her to wear the niqab whether the woman needs to see where she is going or not, and whether she is sitting in a car or walking down the street.
Women, with or without niqab I hope you can ‘see’ that these scholars have been taking away your God given rights. They teach men that they have no self control and you are punished because of their teachings.
And Allah knows best.
