Authenticity Of Ahadith About Pardah
Peace! Like I told you previously, the Arabic says اختمرن which means to wear or put on a خمار which, as you know, is a head cover (as Dr. Muhammad Amir Gazdar has said in his book). However, this report needs research because Aloosi brings the same report for verse 59 of Surah al-Ahzab. I, for one, don’t know whether this is about Surah al-Nur or Surah al-Ahzab. Regarding reports about Omar forbidding slave-girls wearing a جلباب, I don’t know whether the reports are authentic but the Mufassiroon bring them for Surah al-Ahzab, not Surah al-Nur. According to them, Omar forbade slave-girls wearing a جلباب because its wearing was a sign that the woman is free so that she may not be harassed. However, I feel like these reports are unauthentic because the Munafiqoon did not remain in the era of Omar about which the Mufassiroon bring forth these narrations. Furthermore, the narrations brought forth by the Mufassiroon are usually suspect and have no worth, according to Javed Ahmad Ghamidi.
I also read in an article that the Egyptian sufi sheikh Ali Gomaa has stated that those women who believe that hijab is not mandatory are infidels. This has disturbed me to the core. Can you please share any videos or articles of Ghamidi sahab where he clarifies how someone becomes an infidel. Thank you
