Concerning Khimar
Should not the shoulders also be covered by it?
Yes, that is the 'khimaar'. It is a wide cover covering
the head and shoulders. When we say that it covers the
chest, then it covers the shoulders since it is wide. But
as regards the head-scarf we often see a woman wearing it
revealing a part of the neck due to it, but the 'khimaar'
covers the neck and shoulder, and Allaah ta'aala orders
that saying:
WALYADRIBNA BIKHUMURIHINNA 'ALAA JUYOOBIHINNA
The head-scarf is as they say these days a compromise,
and there is no such thing in Islaam!
Many people hold that the khimaar' is a covering for
the face.
Ans. That is ignorance with regard to the language. The
'khimaar' is a covering for the head and the man also
wears the khimaar - putting it upon his head - the same
as for the woman. He ta'aala said:
WALYADRIBNA BIKHUMURIHINNA 'ALAA JUYOOBIHINNA
If the khimaar covered the face then He ta'aala would not
say WALYADRIBNA meaning pull/draw together, but he would
have said "let fall" [ using the verb 'sadala' ]. This is
ignorance regarding the language.
