Head Covering For Women During Salah
Ghamidi sahab has not stated that head covering in salat is optional. I shared this video with you before in response to the same question that you raised a few days ago. What he says in this video is that head covering for women in salat is categorized as ‘aadab’, which means that in an unavoidable situation if head is not covered then salat still remains valid. He also said to not consider lightly the ‘aadab’ that we have been given in our religion. Please refer to the video below from 1:17:50 to 1:18:35 https://youtu.be/O8vHB7KW_YU?t=4670
https://yaqeeninstitute.org/read/paper/is-hijab-religious-or-cultural-how-islamic-rulings-are-formed This article deals with the controversy around hijab and Javed Sahab’s views are incoherent with this article, which is fine. There is a point mentioned in this article that I need a clarification for. In the Quran the word Khamr means intoxicant that covers the intellect, the word ‘khimar’ is derived from the root word Khamr hence it means the khimar covers the head. If that is the case then one can make an assumption that when the Quran uses the word it includes the covering of the hair and the neck. Then the headscarf becomes compulsory if we assume that Allah also assumes that if a woman covers her chest with the khimar then her hair and neck will also be covered. Please read and comment on this article please.
