A woman covers her head with a white see-through scarf. Is the requirement for Hijaab fulfilled by covering her hair with such a scarf?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

Allah Ta’ala says, ?They (females) should not make apparent their adornment.? (Nur 30).

The word, ?adornment? refers to ?places of adornment, e.g. hair, ears, neck, etc.? (Ma?riful Qur’aan vol.6 pg.384; Darul Kutub). Allaamah ibn Katheer (RA) has expressly included ?Dhawaaib? (locks of hair) under the word adornment. (Ibn Katheer vol.3 pg.294; Darul Ma?rif). In view of the above, it is imperative that the hair must not be seen at all. Wearing a thin scarf wherein the hair, being an area of adornment, is exposed is contrary to the above mentioned order of Allah Ta’ala.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
