    salam luthador. head covering is mandatory. this comes straight from the quran. there is no need to go to various websites. you have your quran, i have given you the verses. all that the other websites will do i introduce irrelevant information. the only person who makes the rules for muslims is allah. his rules are in his book the quran. the quran says its mandatory.

    allah is the lawgiver.

      I don't see the arabic word for head(raas) in Al-Quran. Can you please quote a verse giving details for women to cover their head as opposed to bosom which is my current understanding of covering.

      PEACE

        Thank you, but actually for a stupid guy like me there is the need of going to various sites haha this is because I need them to be interpreted to me. Well I've read 2431 And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands...
        Well over there it doesn't seem to be saying anywhere about Hijab? It is about chest. So it is saying that chest has to be covered all the time other than in presence of husband, father and kids. But those sites seem to be correct it does not say anything about head. "They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary." This doesn't neccesarily mean the head. Well different people seem to be having different point of view so my confusion never ends. ( but thanks. I appreciate.

          Put it this way luthador_sucks. If The God wanted to mention covering the head(raas) he would have said so...law giving verse are clear like he said and he wouldn't have left it to guess work or confusion.

          For me its clear no head covering.....its only confusing if you don't let go of your tradition and culture.

            salam luthador. no you are wrong, you have seen the verse, i translated it for you and you are being blind. there is no reason to continue in dispute.

            i will repeat it again, dont ignore what i post

            allah says in surah al nur 241 this surah has been sent upon you and made obligatory and sent upon within ayat between them that you may speak them. 2431 says and say to the momin women lower their sight and protect their purity and not display their adornment except what is open and set forth their head cover to their bosom.

            the word head cover is right there in 2431 there is no dispute whatseover of its existence. head cover is head cover. whether you use a tarpaulin, mattress, blanket, hijab, shawl, burqa, niqab, is a poor attempt to reduce the verse to an absurd extreme. the verse says head covering, therefore a woman must use a head covering. dont be one of those people whom the quran refers to as those who read a verse and then go what does allah mean by this verse. if you are a woman cover your head in public and at home before strangers.

            allah is the teacher.

              Thank you prince, may peace of Allah be upon you.
              Well, I am from bangladesh, in my culture there is no head covering fashion at all. In fact most muslim women in my country do not cover.

                salam prince. i request you show that khamarahum does not mean your head covering or withdraw your misleading post. the issue is not the existence of the word head, that is misleading and false. khamarahum means your head covering.

                allah is the teacher.

                  You cited this verse

                  2431 says and say to the momin women lower their sight and protect their purity and not display their adornment except what is open and set forth their head cover to their bosom.

                  My question is Who is asked to say to the momin women?

                    allah is the knower.

                      well, that is why i go to different sites as you can see that i am blind lol, well, did you translate that by your self? well in every other translation i see no head over there, even the one in my own language (bengali). And why then this website(free-minds.org) is saying that head covering is not mandatory?
                      well, I understand your view, but plz take no offense but I am taking what you are saying as a point of view because in the other translations I've seen no where it says head. Well thank you I appreciate it a lot D. Now, some one else reply plz, I need to know more people's perspective.

                          salam luthador. to claim you dont see the word head is as ridiculous as claiming because you dont see the word foot, therefore a shoe has nothing to do with what you wear on your foot.

                          allah is the best teacher.

                              hey hey there, take it easy now. I thought this was supposed to be a free minded muslims forum, but you seem to be over bearingly conservative. Well, I really do not know whose translation your using, is it done by your self? Well I am using the translations of dr.rashad khalifa. In his one, I already showed the word head is not found and other interpreters(in this website and quran-islam.org) are apparently saying that the words khamir (or something like that, sorry i forgot as i am dull) is mistranslated to covering head when it should have been bosom. well what they are showing is more logical and i've compared it one in my own language and it matches. Well anyway now I want to know what other people of this forum says, i understand what you are saying and thank you. D. and plz I really do not want to start a debate with you the reason why I objected was because of those websites and in the translated version i use, i did not find head as mentioned in those sites. So if you debate, plz prove the people of those websites(including this one) first. thank you.

                                peace LS, Al araf is the only recently frequent member i know of on this forum who takes this position regarding the head scarf issue. trawling the forum sections or using the search function is a good way to find all the threads which discuss the matter. (wakas should be proud of me )

Now I need to know other people's perpective as well so thank you al afran i appreciate.

                                    How is it an issue outside the qur'aan?
                                    Do you have any other example from the qur'aan where God issues a command just in this way, through "say", a third party? Is this even the language of the many commands and prohibitions in this chapter?

                                          Let me explain it simply, the verse says "draw your khimaar over your chest". The word khimaar in Classical Arabic dictionaries can mean "headcover" as well as any "cover". So, it is possible to interpret it as "headcover" but that is not the only option.

                                          I recommend the search fucntion.

                                          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.
