[quote]Salaam alaikum Nida,

Many scholars think head covering is ordered. But many scholars also think head covering is not ordered.

Please if you believe that it is ordered, it is fine - I accept your right to believe that. However you should accept other people's right to believe also. You should not force your and your scholars' interpretation onto others.

We must respect each other and their rights to believe what they think is correct and what their scholars think is correct. That is how we nourish  a healthy society.

I have also posted my link, please read it:

There are many scholars including the late Dr. Zaki Badawi who are of the opinion that Islam does not order head covering.

The onus is on you to show a clear ayat that says head covering is ordered. So far you have failed to do that - and yo can never do that because none such ayat exists.

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with covering the head, it makes the women look more modest. However it is not a required thing,  that is my point. I am all for the head-covering, as long as it is not forced saying it is required. That is not true.

One more thing I would like to mention. According to Mernissi, who quotes from Al-Tabari, that the daughter of the grandson of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) refused to cover her head openly in defiance of the male imposed law. She was a great Muslim, like her father and grand father. She openly stood against the cruel rulers of her time.
