Quran 24:31 – Argument That It Is Talking About Locations
The interpretation of Gahmidi saheb, itself suffices to determine the status of other opinions. According to him, this is about adornments on the body, including makeup and ornaments. The adorned body parts which habitually or culturally stay bare, like hands, face, and feet, and in some cultures head, are not ordained to be covered. So this interpretation does not accept the cited opinion. However, we can infer that if certain adorned body parts are not meant to be covered, it obviously means that they can stay bare when not adorned. As far as looking at women’s uncovered body parts is concerned, Allah has already ordered both genders to lower their gazes when confronting each other which means staying modest and decent.
