Hijab For Muslim Women
I have a question regarding the length of the cloth. Ghamidi Sahib said that the minimum covering for women is from the neck to the knee. But there is a hadith from Umm Salamah where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) orders women to cover their legs and feet. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: ‘Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him.’ Umm Salamah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what should women do with their hems?’ He said: ‘Let it down a hand span.’ She said: ‘But then their feet will show.’ He said: ‘Let it down a forearm’s length, but no more than that.'” https://sunnah.com/nasai:5336 Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this hadith completely contradict Ghamidi Sahib’s view? Because he says that covering upto the knees is the bare minimum, but this hadith is saying that covering upto the feet is the bare minimum?
I have a question:based on what sir JG decided the adjoining parts length?What was the reasoning that made him reach this conclusion?Why till knees and not less or more?Why the arms till elbow ?Why till neck ?Thank u
