[quote][quote]I would very much like if you could post Ghamidi's detailed argument on the head-covering. As well any interesting conversation the two (Razi) of you might possibly have with him. [/quote]

What Ghamidi Sahib has written in his Kanoon-e-Mua'asharat (The Social Law of Islam) is mostly based on an approach of positive presentation, that is, without pointing out each and every error in the viewpoints of others. He though has explained his stance in detail by comparing it with others' in the lectures he delivered on this topic. I have reason to believe that these lectures must have been recorded and available. You may write to Mr Sami Mufti for details thereof: sami_mufti@hotmail.com

About me and Razi meeting Javed Sahib, I think it depends on him and not me. In his previous post he has said that he will not.

[quote] Also, I have two questions.

1) Is it required for women to cover their head during prayer? [/quote]

This is what the whole discussion was all about. I'd suggest that you please go through the thread and find out what is right and what wrong. I hope that the hotchpotch nature of the FORM does not prevent you to construe the SUBSTANCE. What we have discussed is whether Muslim ladies in general are required to cover their heads, which in turn will affect the standing your questions in particular. Razi says: Yes they are. I say they are not obligated to cover their heads yet it is desirable since this practice complies with their innate concept of Haya (modesty). We need to appreciate that the directives of the Shari'ah are not beyond the realm of one's innate guidance. Shari'ah has given the status of Law to the decrees which otherwise are testified to by our ituition and common sense. In other words, divine interference has raised the decrees of our innate guidance and common sense to the level of legal injunctions. Therefore morality still remains the building block of our religious disposition. What is not included in divine decrees is not sufficient evidence that it falls short of the purview of morality.

2) Does the head for a woman come under the sutra/satar (??)

What do you imply by Satar? If you mean whether woman should cover their heads while in interation with men, then this has already responded been to.[/quote]
