[quote]The verse says cover with outer garments when you go out. The outer garments generally cover the thighs and stomach, etc, but not necessarily the head. If your outer garments cover your head, then that is fine.

Even marwan has said in his paper that there is no explicit mention that head should be covered. At least we all agree on that. From this he speculates and draws conclusion based on his logic. That is all fine, that is his interpreation. But we should remmember that when there is one way of drawing an inference, then there is another way also. So there is room for interpretation, and we need to respect other views also. This I feel is lacking among many members of this forum.

There are two kinds of injunctions in the holy Book. One is clear cut, there is no doubt about them. Like eating pork, zina, etc. Then other leave some room for interpretation. This issue is one that leaves room for interpretation.

My point is that Islam is a lenient religion, Allah has made things easy. And we should not make things difficult for ourselves. If you feel you should cover the head, then do it. If you feel it is not needed and a modest dress is enough, then that is fine too. Of-course the more modest you are, the better it is. There is no strick specific mention that head should be covered. That is all. One should do what is modest, and piety is closer to Allah.
