The meaning "headcover" for Khimar or Khumur could possiblly be a extrapolation.

Salam/Peace everyone. I have a question
I wonder why did the traditionalists have made walyadribnabikhumurihinna AAala juyoobihinna ( ن from spread their coverings on their bosoms to mean spread their so-called "head covers" on their bosoms? Even though hair (sha'r) or head (ra?s) is not even mentioned in the verse. Also there is no verses saying that it is sinful for women not wearing "headcover" So why are they doing this? They even call it Hijab but the root word says this
Ha-Jiim-Ba ( ب = something which hinders/prevents/precludes/conceals/covers/protects/intervenes, hid, seclude, to veil/conceal/cover/hide a thing, intervene between two things.
hajaba vb. (1) pcple. pass. 8315
hijab n.m. 746, 1745, 1917, 3353, 3832, 415, 4251
They even influenced Edward Lane's Lexicon through Taj Al Arus which is i think it's based off from Hadith (Correct me if i am wrong.) (Check his preface chrome-extension//oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http//www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume1/00000006.pdf chrome-extension//oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http//www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume1/00000007.pdf)

"KhiMaR a woman's head-covering."

I also heard that so-called "islamic headcover" is based of Judeo-Christian
1 Corinthians 112-16English Standard Version (ESV)
Head Coverings
2 Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
Footnotes a.1 Corinthians 113 Greek gun. This term may refer to a woman or a wife, depending on the context b.1 Corinthians 113 Greek anr. This term may refer to a man or a husband, depending on the context c.1 Corinthians 115 In verses 5?13, the Greek word gun is translated wife in verses that deal with wearing a veil, a sign of being married in first-century culture d.1 Corinthians 1110 Or messengers, that is, people sent to observe and report.
The sectarians use "history" that women wore headcover during Prophet's time but i have not seen any evidence as of now.
Is someone here could help that has both very good Arabic linguistic & history skills?

And i agree with Wakas research on khimar in 2431
http//www.misconceptions-about-islam.com/dress-code-women-veil.htm
Misconception Muslim women must fully cover up in Islam
Background Some think that Muslim women must cover their whole body, including face when in public. Women's dress code in Islam is one of the most focussed upon subjects not only in the Western media but also in Muslim countries, yet it remains one of the most distorted and misunderstood.Firstly, according to The Quran, the most important rule of the dress code for both men and women is as follows
O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as to adorn you. But the best garment is the garment of piety/righteousness. These are some of God's signs, so that they may be mindful.
The garment of righteousness/piety could either refer to choosing a garment that reflects this quality or enveloping oneself in righteous/pious conduct is best, or both.
The following verses tells women to guard their private parts (i.e. genitalia) and cover their chests
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, for that is purer for them. God is fully aware of what you do.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, and that they should not reveal their beauty except what is apparent of it, and let them draw with their covers over their chests. And let them not reveal their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or those committed to them by oath, or the male servants who are without need, or the child who has not yet understood the composition of women. And let them not strike with their feet that reveals what they are keeping hidden of their beauty. And repent to God, all of you believers, that you may succeed.From the above verse it can be deduced that for the purposes of women's dress code two types of beauty are described
- What is apparent (this can be revealed in public)
- What is hidden (this type must be covered in public, but could be revealed by a striking of feet or walk/stride which is revealing)
Such a striking of feet or walk could only reveal a limited number of parts of the body, e.g. the private parts, buttocks, thighs, breasts, hips, thus any part not revealed by such an action should not be considered part of hidden beauty and therefore part of apparent beauty. Of course, this means such things as face, hair, hands, feet etc would not clearly fall into the category of beauty that is meant to be hidden. Furthermore, the verse clearly brackets what beauty it is referring to by saying "...the child who has not yet understood the composition of women" implying it is relating to what is specific to a woman (i.e. what is different between man and woman) nothing else.
This understanding would also fit with The Quran's instruction on the body parts that are to be cleansed during daily ablution (hands, arms, face, head and feet), see 56, 443.A headscarf (commonly called "hijab" is often worn by Muslim women, however this word is not used like this in The Quran. In fact, the word "hijab" is not even used to mean an item of clothing and simply means something which intervenes between two things, e.g. barrier, screen, seclusion. All verses where this word occurs are as follows 746, 3353, 3832, 415, 4251, 1745, 1917, 8315. It should also be noted that believing men and women are free to eat in each other's company, whether family or friends , thus a veil covering the face (commonly called "niqab", or the full veil "burqa" would obviously be impractical. Again, such an item of clothing is nowhere to be found in The Quran.
Another common mistake regarding dress code is when the following situation-specific verse is applied to all situations
And those who harm the believing men and the believing women, with no just reason, they have brought upon themselves a slander and a gross sin.
O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of the believers that they shall lengthen (or draw near) over themselves their outer-garments. That is more likely they be recognized so not harmed. God is Forgiver, Merciful.
If the hypocrites and those with disease in their hearts and those who spread lies in the city do not refrain*, then We will let you overpower them, then they will not be able to remain as your neighbours except for a short while.
*proving harm is already occurring, and refers back to 3358, which is before the modification in dress is mentioned.The mistake is exposed when the practicalities of applying the above verses are considered. The verses deal with open enmity with significant repercussions for the perpetrators if this behaviour does not stop. The open enmity is direct to the person, hence the need for the women to modify their outer-garment in order to be recognised in public and not harmed. For the suggested solution in these verses to succeed four things must be in place
- The open enmity or harm must be present in the community first and direct to the women
- The modification in outer-garment and the consequence for the perpetrator of not abiding by this identification code must either be made known to the community or this would have to be common knowledge amongst the community
- The modification recommended would be enough to differentiate one group from another
- The authority is in place to fight/expel those persisting in this behaviour
Clearly, this specific criteria has to be fulfilled for these verses to work, thus is not a universal rule. It is situation-specific, e.g. if a section of the community become hostile to believing women or women in general and the believers have some power in the land, then they can utilise this solution, effectively giving an ultimatum with no room for excuse for the perpetrators.
These verses are commonly interpreted to mean that Muslim women must lengthen (or draw near) their outer-garment whenever in public even in times of peace. However, this is easily refuted by considering that if this was the case and open enmity then appeared, the modification suggested in these verses would already exist, thus implementing the modification in these verses could not be done, thus rendering the solution described in these verses as void.
However, from these verses it can be deduced that wearing of an outer-garment by women when in public was the norm.The following verse shows being clothed is the norm but makes it clear that flexibility is allowed in certain situations, as long as we are mindful of modesty. The context is etiquette within the household
And the women who are past child bearing and who do not seek to get married have no sin upon them if they discard their garments*, provided they do not show off with their beauty. If they abstain, then it is better for them. God is Hearer, Knower.
*Arabic word is "thiyab" and refers to ordinary clothes/gowns.It should be noted that all examples of dress in The Quran of the righteous or believing men and women involve wearing garments, e.g. 1831, 2223, 2458, 2460, 3533, 744, 7621. Also, to provide clothing for others is considered a charitable or righteous act .
As can be seen, The Quran gives us a set of simple basic rules with flexible guidance for the rest, which can be applied to different situations/society/function. This flexibility is a mercy but has unfortunately been abused by various schools of thought and religious leaders who have issued their own additional rulings and consequently there is disagreement amongst them on other than the basic rules.
Additional notes for Arabic readers
The word "khumur" is used in 2431 and can be the plural of "khimaar" or "khimirr", and can mean any cover made of cloth or headcover, according to Classical Arabic dictionaries and Traditional Ahadith/Narrations (see Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 282). Please note the Arabic preposition "bi" meaning "with" in "bikhumurihinna", which means they are to cover their chests with their "khumur/covers/headcovers". The usage of preposition "bi" is different to the preposition "min" as used in 3359 "min jalabeebihinna" which means to use a part of their "jilbab/outer-garment" in the modification suggested, i.e. not all of it has to be lowered or drawn near, just part of it. In 2431 if God intended that part of it (e.g. headcover) stays on the head and part of it be used to cover the bosom, it would have been more appropriate to use "min khumurhinna". Furthermore, the word "yadribna" as used in 2431 has no connotation of lengthening or lowering in any other occurrence, unlike "yudneena" in 3359 which does, thus would have been more appropriate to use.
Even if "khumur" is taken to mean "headcovers" it should be noted that the order is to cover the chest, not the head - of course, one may cover their head if they wish. -
I wonder does Kitab Al-Ayn or Maqayees Al-Lugha mention anything about "headcover" of the root word Kha-Miim-Ra?
-
The reason i am posing this question is because i viewed on the heated debate with Tanveermd and ImamQuranOnly and i agree with Tanveermd, it's just that ImamQuranOnly trying to claim that Khimar always meant "headcover" by history (correct me if i am wrong)
You can see the debate between TanveerMD & ImamQuranOnly https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=14453.msg133236#msg133236
P.S This is NOT to smear someone's character or to start a fight or something, this is only me being honest of my intention of this post.

Salam/Peace everyone.
I guess the reason is maybe because of tradition.See this is why i don't trust tradition. In the Qur'an, the word tradition is not mentioned but there are verses that disbelievers reject what Allah/God (SWTAY) has sent down
2170

They said "Bring him before the eyes of the people so that they may be witness."2162

Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hathafais-aloohum in kanoo yantiqoona
He said "It was the biggest one of them here who did it, so ask them, if they do speak!"(See this topic https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610206.0)
2164
FarajaAAoo ila anfusihim faqalooinnakum antumu alththalimoona
So they turned and said to themselves "It is indeed ourselves who have been wicked!"2165

He said "Do you serve besides God that which does not benefit you at all nor harm you?"2167
Offin lakum walima taAAbudoona mindooni Allahi afala taAAqiloona

And We saved him and Lot to the land which We have blessed in for the worlds.3121
Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo maanzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma wajadnaAAalayhi abaana awa law kana alshshaytanuyadAAoohum ila AAathabi alssaAAeeri
And if they are told "Follow that which God has sent down." They say "No, we will follow what we found our fathers doing." What if the devil had been leading them to the agony of Hell?And if you look in the dictionary for the word "tradition" it says this
https//www.etymonline.com/word/tradition
tradition (n.)
late 14c., "statement, belief, or practice handed down from generation to generation," especially "belief or practice based on Mosaic law," from Old French tradicion "transmission, presentation, handing over" (late 13c.) and directly from Latin traditionem (nominative traditio) "delivery, surrender, a handing down, a giving up," noun of action from past participle stem of tradere "deliver, hand over," from trans- "over" (see trans-) + dare "to give" (from PIE root *do- "to give". The word is a doublet of treason (q.v.). Meaning "a long-established custom" is from 1590s. The notion is of customs, ways, beliefs, doctrines, etc. "handed down" from one generation to the next.Nobody can make a tradition; it takes a century to make it.

Also here is something from another post about Khimar
Salam/Peace everyone. I know it's been a while but i wan't to add something
Some sectarian people always claim that in 2431, females must cover their heads but Allah/God (SWTAY) says in Al-Qur'an walyadribnabikhumurihinna AAala juyoobihinna ( ). Nowhere does it says cover their HEADS or HAIR (ash`?ri- ru'?si - ) and nowhere does it says it is sinful for the women not covering their heads.
Plus the root definition of Khimar is to cover or veil something, brother Wakas once mentioned
https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=8900.msg30931#msg30931
peace David,
I did a little research on this previously, here are some notes
list of occurrence
From Lane
Kha-Miim-Ra = cover/conceal/veil, become changed/altered from a former state/condition, mixed/mingled/incorporated/blended, intoxication/wine/grapes, make-up, any intoxicating thing that clouds/obscures the intellect, come upon secretly/unexpectedly, crowding of people, odour of perfume, women's head cover, man's turban, something fermented/matured?
Lane gives examples of ?the dwelling was hidden by the trees? & ?he concealed his testimony?.
Its primary signification is 'to cover'.
As far as I can tell, to say 'khumur' in 2431 means 'head cover' is an extrapolation. If one takes its core meaning, it simply means 'cover/veil'.
...and let them draw/set/cast (walyadribna) their veils/covers (bikhumurihinna) over (AAala) their breasts/bosom (juyoobihinna)...
Kha-Miim-Ra is in the plural in this verse.
I hope this has helped.
Wakas
Also this is from sister Samiahttps//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=14453.msg133395#msg133395
I say "especially", because the verse "yudneena 3alaihinna min jalaabeebihinna" uses the preposition "min", not as part of the verb ( this verb is transitive and does not take a preposition), but because it means "some of; part of". Not the whole julbaab needs to be lowered, of course, but just part of it.
Same thing could be applied to "khumurihinna" if God intended that part of it stays on the head and part of it be used to cover the bosom. Had He intended such a meaning, He would say yadribna min khumurihinna 3ala juyubihinna, especially that bi is not part of the verb. Bi here means either "with" or it is extra serving as emphasis. Either meaning we take for "bi" completely excludes "min=part of" and confirms the whole khimaar (whatever it is) be used to cover the bosom.
-
Which leads to a question for brother Wakas, does your research on the root word of Khimar has made any progress since October 05, 2004? Do you still have the conclusion that "headcover" is a extrapolation by the traditionalists?
-
It's alright everyone, i can wait. )
-
My view is still the same. "headcover" is simply one possible meaning, and there is no evidence to indicate that is its meaning in Quran (it might be, might not be) but there is definitely no evidence mandating covering of the head/hair for women in Quran. They can choose to do this if they wish however.

The meaning "Headcover" you once said might be a extrapolation (added meaning) besides ra's & sha'r is not mentioned in the verse and also there is not verses saying that women are not allowed take off the so called "headcover" or it is a sin that women are not wearing "headcover", you can find that in the Septuagint Bible. I wonder, why did Lane put brackets in the pages of Kha-Miim-Ra (Vol 2 Page 444 & 445). Sister Samia once said that in Lisan Al Arab Ibn Manzur stated about Khimar It is said..... I also wonder if there is any ancient Arabic speaking about Khimar without connecting culture and just sticking the linguistic & the root definition?
-
Are there also good refutation against the "headcover" meaning that traditionalists trying to enforce that goes against Allah/God's (SWTAY) divine laws.
-
In fact there is a another question in my mind, how do spread your "headcover" to the bosoms? "headcover" only covers the head. It's just language gymnastics.
-
Are there also good refutation against the "headcover" meaning that traditionalists trying to enforce that goes against Allah/God's (SWTAY) divine laws.
Human usually declare their law as 'divine' in order to borrow some authority thus no need to provide evidence and / or explanation for the background / motivation / justification of the law.
If a law is truly from God, then it is automatically enforced and there is NOT A SLIGHTEST CHANCE that anyone can go against it.
If let's say God decided that human female shall have no hair, then human female shall have no hair. PERIOD
If let's say God decided that human female shall have some hair but it will be covered with something then human female shall have their hair covered with something. PERIODGod decided that human shall have no tail, then as we see today human have no tail. (At least most of them).
As we now have knowledge that all human genes carries some combination which could resulted in a tail, yet somehow it was turned off.Thus the discussion can be oriented towards
WHY did they created a law for the female within their group to cover their hair? -
Yes people are to follow God's laws but he gave us free will and he will deal with those who broke the laws.

I will turn away from My revelations those who are arrogant on the earth without right, and if they see every sign they do not believe in it, and if they see the path of guidance they do not take it as a path; and if they see the path of mischief, they take it as a path. That is because they have denied Our revelations and were heedless of them.26

Inna allatheena amanoo thummakafaroo thumma amanoo thumma kafaroo thumma izdadookufran lam yakuni Allahu liyaghfira lahum walaliyahdiyahum sabeelan
Those who believed, then rejected, then believed, then rejected, then they increased in rejection; God was not to forgive them nor to guide them to the path.4138

And it has been sent down to you in the Book, that if you hear the revelations of God being rejected and mocked, then do not sit with them until they move on to a different narrative; if not, then you are like them. God will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Hell all together.386

How can God guide a people who have rejected after believing, and they had witnessed that the messenger was true, and the clarity had come to them? God does not guide the wicked people.387

O you who believe, whoever from among you turns away from His system, then God will bring a people whom He loves and they love Him; humble towards the believers, proud towards the rejecters; they strive in the cause of God and do not fear to be blamed by those who blame. This is the grace of God, He bestows it upon whom He wills; God is Encompassing, Knowledgeable.16104

Whoever rejects God after having believed - except for he who is forced while his heart is still content with belief - and has comforted his chest towards rejection, then these will have a wrath from God and they will have a great retribution.16107
Thalika bi-annahumu istahabbooalhayata alddunya AAala al-akhiratiwaanna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alkafireena
That is because they have preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter, and God does not guide the rejecting people.16108

Yes people are to follow God's laws but he gave us free will and he will deal with those who broke the laws.
If it can be broken then it's not God's law, it's simple as that.
If it is a 'choice' then it's a recommendation / advice out of given context.
- Be careful, the road is slippery ahead, if you're not careful you can fell down the cliff and die.
- Do not consume heroin, it would jeopardize your nerve system and it causes addiction.
- Don't be arrogant, as arrogance is close to ignorance.
- Cover your entire body with a wet suit when you dive underwater, there are many jellyfishes under the sea which can sting and stun your entire body.
Those are recommendation / advice, it's all can be explained, the mechanism or consequences is automatically in place for those who doesn't heed the advice, nobody need to do anything to make Heroin jeopardize human nerve systems, that is if the recommendation / advice is indeed true. There's absolutely no need to justify with "Because God said so, and God will be angry and torture you if you don't heed the advice".
Now back to the main point
"Why did they want their female to cover their hair"? -
If it can be broken then it's not God's law, it's simple as that.
Actually that is very confusing to me, how exactly is that simple? Although the word law may not be mention (i could be wrong), God does gives us rules in the Qur'an and i have not seen a verse saying that his rules cannot be broken or something like that. Whether follow God's rules or not, it can be choice between these two and i choose the first one (follow Allah/God's rules). Salam/Peace.
-
Anyway back to the point, i don't want this to stray off topic.
"Why did they want their female to cover their hair"?
That is sadly unknown to me but the only conclusion i can think is of misogynistic reasons.
-
I know it's been awhile but i think i have forgotten to mention is that there is no mention headcover is being forbidden to be taken off and no punishment as well.
Also the word head/rs ( - i found it in 2094) or hair/sha'r ( - i found it in 1680) is not mentioned in 2431 nor 3353.
Apologies if the arabic derivative is not the specific one. My knowledge of Arabic is still at amateur level.
By the way i found this
https//factszz.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/does-noble-quran-ordain-a-lady-to-cover-her-head-or-her-face-read-the-truth/
Salam/Peace & Allah/God (SWTAY) bless you all.
