Re: Is covering the head really FARD? Or just an Interpratation? Convince me
Thats what Im saying, in Arabia, I agree 100% that the head cover is fard, the reason for that is that the hair if uncovered would make a woman immodest thus dont fall under the category of ‘what is apparent’. What cant be apparent is what Allah has mentioned when He says ‘And Guard their Private Parts’ this means to figuratively guard them from zina and literaly cover them, then Allah says ‘And Dont strike their feet as to reveal what they hide of their beauty/adornment’ now what parts of a woman move specifically when she strikes her feet? Generally, her Bosom, Hips/Buttocks and Thighs. Now its clear that Bosom, Hips, Thighs and private parts are what Allah expects that you would cover in all cases. The rest of the parts:
Hair Face Hands Belly Arms Calves Feet depend on the phrase ‘Dont reveal their beauty except for what is apparent’ and this ‘what is apparent’ is a very “open to interpratation” phrase. And which I have after doing a survey in Pakistan interpratted as: Forearms Hair Face Hands and Feet
If we look at the Hadith then first of all there is only one hadith which goes directly to the Prophet in Abu Dawud which is a weak Hadith. The rest are saying of the companions and helpers (Tabieen). We will discuss that but first tell me what do you think about the above paragraphs. Oh and let me point out that I personally love the hijab and abaya
