[quote]Wa’alaikumassalam Nida:

Thank you for your quick response.

By tennis (hehehe), I meant, that we were throwing arguments in each other’s court like tennis players throw the tennis ball in each other’s court. That was just a joke!

Nida-e-Khair wrote, “I fully approve of your statement brother. However, I'm not too sure what you were trying to say over here. I mean, did I go wrong anywhere in my statement?”

I was only requesting you to stay quiet about their intentions as we cannot know of what is in other person’s heart.

Nida-e-Khair wrote, “You're right that the Prophet (SAW) did not say anything about covering the head. Therefore, I think it's better to be on the safe side.”

I totally agree with you that the safer way is the best way. That is why I said earlier as well that the best, for women, is to cover the head; however, it should not be seen as a compulsion.

Nida-e-Khair wrote, “And by the way, it could be that the Prophet (SAW) would've mentioned something about the hair if only he had seen a woman with her head uncovered.”

Hm, I wouldn’t agree here because the Qur’an itself could make covering the head a clear compulsion if it wanted. But, I think, Allah T’ala wanted to give a little freedom to women in this matter that is why we find no hard and fast rule about it in either the glorious Qur’an or authentic Ahadith.

Nida-e-Khair further wrote, “If the head were not part of Satr, then why would the Almighty require us women to cover it during prayers or Hajj?”

But see, women cannot cover their faces during the hajj as they cannot reveal their heads in the salah. Special manners and etiquettes for special occasions such as salah or hajj or umrah should be seen as specific.

Thank you for your compliments though I don’t think I deserved them. And also, thanks a lot for such a healthy discussion. I think you are a girl because you are more polite, appreciative and considerate. By this, I don’t mean that men do not have these qualities but, according to the best of my experience, women have an edge in such qualities.

Sincerely,
