Opinion Of Some Companions, Taba’In And Early Jurists On Hijab (Surah An-Nur)
Yes, but the text says : A similar view was also narrated from Ibn Abbas, IbnUmar, Mujahid, Said bin Jubayr, Abu Ash-Shatha’, Ibrahim An-Nakhai, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Az-Zuhri, Al-Awzai and others.غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَـتِ بِزِينَةٍ(in such a way as not to show their adornment.) Said bin Jubayr said, “They should not make a wanton display of themselves by removing their outer garment so that their adornment may be seen.” The last part isn’t about displaying adornments. It clearly sees it should not be seen. Doesn’t that mean that even old women shouldn’t show their adornments although they can discard their outer garment? Wouldn’t it also mean that the purpose of the outer garment isn’t to hide the adornments, but something else (like the hair)? Moreover, why wouldn’t Ibn Masud say “khimar” directly instead of jilbab or rida? Wouldn’t it mean that khimar was actually for covering the head and there’s another garment rida/jilbab which is supposed to hide the ornaments? The former was a Tabai and the latter a companion of the Prophet PBUH. So obviously their opinions carry a lot of weight since the companions learned directly from the Prophet and the Taba’in, if I’m not wrong, from the first generation of Muslims.
