[quote]not at all dear marwan. i appreciate your effort to bring the facts as well. plz continue this as our Lord the nearest to us than our jugular vein knows our intention to gain His pleasure by discovering what is right and I strongly believe that He would not let us go astray if we are sincere in our efforts insh'Allah.
what i mentioned re: junaidj is that like many other matters we ought to accept the fact that " And there can be a difference of opinion on this." 
i would be the last one to uncover my head which i started covering as a teenager not because anyone asked me to, rather in the convent school where i studied, i was looked down for this act;but my innater guidance inspired me to cover myself as much as possible.later i found out more from religious studies and chose to continue; rather covered my face for many years as well-untill my knowledge broadened about the facts from the original sources of deen, Qura'n and Sunnah and I accepted the flexibility available.

however i would not 'name and shame' a woman as kafir if she does not cover her head specifically but has otherwise covered the whole body in a perfectly modest way without making any of the parts prominent, without making her other 'zeenah' like makeup, hair ornaments(hair dye, hair perms, hair jewels etc) prominent. if she has all that on,  its common sense to understand that her head should then be covered. as a matter of fact if she has made her facial features prominent by wearing lipstick,lipgloss, blush-on, mascara, eyeshadow, glitters etc. it is common sense again that she should then cover her face as well when she leaves house to go on streets or in a mixed crowd.

so my dear sr. all this originates from one's common sense what and where to cover. the revelation and the prophet's teachings give us basic guidelines about such matters and support our innate guidance. shariah/law has been given by Allah and the prophet sws in selected  matters few of which for example are  murder, family matters like nikah and divorse,fornication, economics like inheritance, ,political system,jihad;

we have to be very careful announcing shariah/law about every matter . you would find people giving shariah/law verdicts about listening to music for example whereas the religion outlines the rules of modesty and we ought to chose a music which does not break the laws of modesty. not to pass on the verdict of kufr for the people who listen to music of any kind.
such self made shariah/laws create extremism, wrong presentation of our beautiful deen islam and more differences to split us up further.[/quote]
