Authenticity Of Ahadith About Pardah
Yes I had stated these narrations in another thread, but I wasn’t fully convinced by the explanation. I mean, in a photo attached by one of the members on the thread, the meaning of the verb اختمرن is given as ” she wore or put on a khimar ( on her head) ” . I needed to know if the portion in the bracket is valid according to Arabic linguistics or just added by the translator to kind of fit in the verb into the generally accepted meaning of hijaab today (that head must be covered) . I also need to watch the video if Ghamidi sahab where he mentions this hadith, so could you please paste the link of that video? Also, what about the tradition of Omar( R.A). Is it authentic? Is the book of Dr Amir Ghazdar on hijab available in Urdu or English. Lastly, thank you so much for your help
I suggest that you watch the entire series of videos by Ghamidi sahab shared in a response by me above. Once you understand the whole argument, I am sure that things will start making sense. If you still have questions afterwards, please feel free to post them here. Linguistic analysis of narrations is not the correct way to understand narrations because a big majority of them have been related to us “bil-maana” i.e. not in the exact words to begin with. Besides, narrations must be understood in the context of the Quran not the other way around. Translation of Gazdar sahab’s book is not published yet. For the Arabic text please refer to: Discussion 51677
I’m talking about the verse 60 of Surah An-Nur. It says: As for women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage, it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower. If old women are allowed to take of their outer clothing only on the condition that they don’t show their adornment, doesn’t it mean that young women are not allowed to take them off even if they’re not wearing any adornments and that the purpose of the khimaar is to cover something other than the adornments?
