[quote]concluding remarks from Jahangir Hanif Al-Mawrid web site

My response  depends on what you imply by the word ‘binding’. I mean if you meant whether Allah, in the revealed Shari’ah, has bound the Muslim ladies to cover their heads, my response is no. But if you meant whether Muslim ladies, by virtue of the dictates of their Fitrah – which has been adorned with Haya (modesty) – should wear head covering, my response is yes[1].

Many scholars have deduced from this tradition that it is imperative for the Muslim ladies to cover their heads. They contend, on its basis, that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) has only exempted face and hands from the obligation of covering. This means that head is included in the body parts which will be covered. However, it may be noted that this Hadith has been criticized.

In addition to Abu Daw’ood, it has also been reported in Sunan Al-Baihaqi. However, Imam Abu Daw’ood terms it Mursal tradition (i.e. the chain of reporters is not given completely) and Imam Baihaqi says that this tradition is Da’eef (not authentic[/quote]
