FATWA DEPT.
Allah Ta’ala says in the noble Qur’aan, ‘O Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) say toyour wives, your daughters and to the women of the Mu’mineen
that they draw over them their Jilbaabs (outer cloaks or Burqahs). That
(covering themselves with Jilbaab) is the least (minimum requirement which
they should adopt) so that they be recognised and not be molested (by
shameless people of loose morals).’ (Ahzaab 59)
The word, ‘Jilbaab’ which appears in the Aayat is the plural of the word
‘Jilbaab’. Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) says that a Jilbaab is
such a garment which covers the entire body. (Tafseer Roohul Ma’aan vol.22
pg.88)
The word, ‘Khimaar’ which appears in another Aayat refers to the
scarf/head-covering which is generally worn and is for daily use, but when
there is a need for the woman to emerge from the home, then it is necessary
for her to don the Jilbaab.
Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) further states, ‘The women must cover
their faces and heads with their Jilbaabs and leave only one eye exposed
(covered).’ (Ibid)
Hadhrat Abu Ubaydah Salmaani (Radhiallaahu Anhu) was asked by Muhammad ibn
Sireen regarding this Aaayat, then Hadhrat Salmaani demonstrated (as a means
of explanation) by covering his head and face with his shawl and he left his
head and face with his shawl and he left his left eye exposed.
