[quote]@Saba; the word Khimar can have many dictionary meanings but it is not correct to consider that all  those meanings can be implied here. The use of Word Khimar has to be understood in the context and actual spirit of directives - Its highly objectionable to include shirts,blouse or any such stuff which is not fulfilling the purpose of covering the chest but actually more exposing it.

&quot;And tell the believing women to restrain their eyes and to guard their private parts and to display of their ornaments only those [which are worn on limbs] which are normally revealed and to draw their coverings over their bosoms&quot; (Javed Ghamidi Meezan)

&quot;And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms&quot;(by Abdullah Yusuf Ali)

&quot;And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.)&quot;  by Dr Mohsin Khan

Above three are different translations of hijab verses- I would humbly ask, what is the criteria for ordinary muslims to adopt ; one's scholar opinion and reject the other ?

If it is based on &quot;Daleel/Argument&quot;, unfortunately, its is beyond the capacity of normal or ordinary men to reach at a result -  then what is the workaround - Shouldn't in such cases the &quot;Consensus&quot; or &quot;Opinion of Majority Islamic Scholars&quot; shall be adopted universally by Muslim women ?[/quote]
