[quote][purple]the matters which have not been clearly ordered in Qura'n or Sunnah are always open to study and research in changing times keeping in view the basic theme and essence, haya or modesty in this case.[/purple]
[blue]head covering is nothing but a manifestation of this spirit which has perpetuated all through the ebbs and flows of muslim civilization. in other words, the head covering has not been promulgated by the Law yet its perpetuation exhibits the inclinations of muslims in matters of haya (modesty).

the ultimate aim of the religion is the purification of the soul; towards this end it urges and guides its followers. but this purification is not merely an abstract thing. our outer being plays a major role in achievement of this end; and therefore the choice of ‘forms’ is essentially important to retain and nourish the substance. hence proper dress code is a fundamental thing for cleansing and purifying our soul.

one can argue that scarf is not included in the proper dress code and people may differ upon the definition of what is proper. in this regards, our parents and the society in general does help us decide what is proper; our conscience no doubt also facilitates us in choosing what is right since as we contradict what our conscience says ‘proper’, it pricks us terribly. however, if a Muslim lady decides most sincerely that head covering does not fall within the ambit of proper dress, she will not be held accountable since what she decided was based on her sincerity as the matter has not been addressed directly by the Shariah.[/blue][/quote]
