Hesitation in Wearing the Niqab

Question
I wear a loose abaya, but I would like to wear the niqab to please Allah Almighty. However, I have hesitation. Is this hesitation from the devil?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The niqab is a Sunnah and not an obligation, except for a woman who fears temptation for men. Therefore, if one desires peace of mind for herself and others, she should wear the niqab, for it is more concealing and chaste for you and for society. And God knows best.
