May Allah guide us aright. There are simply too many arguments in Islam and thats why we are split into sects. The Quran is written in a plain simple language with proper translations available. As such, I never cease to wonder ‘Why on earth do we differ?’

Ruqayyah – Anything that is written between parenthesis in the Qur’an IS NOT A PART OF ALLAH’S WORDS. I hate that people include parenthetical statements in their translations of The Qur’an because it confuses people and leads them astray.

From Surah Al-Azhab-
wa Nisaaa-ill Mu’miina yudniina ‘alay-hinna min jalaabiibihin zaalika adnaa ‘any yu’rafna fa-laa yu’zayn. Wa kaanallaahu Gafuurar-Rahiimaa.

There is no mention of the word eye or eyes.

Assalaamualaikum Sis. Ruqayyah,
It does not say in the Qur’aan (in Arabic) to “screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see they way”. The translation that you provide clearly adds words to the original Arabic.

“bi-khumurihinna ‘alaa juyuubihinn”
Now where is the word eye or eyes in this instruction from Allah subhana wa ta ala?

What is the khimar?
Here are some definitions of the khimar and what it means in classical Arabic:

Imam Abu’l-Fida ibn Kathir:
“Khumur is the plural of khimar which means something that covers, and is what is used to cover the head. This is what is known among the people as a khimar.”

The dictionary of classical Arabic, Aqrab al-Mawarid:
“[The word khimar refers to] all such pieces of cloth which are used to cover the head. It is a piece of cloth which is used by a woman to cover her head.”

Shaykh Muhammad al-Munajjid on Islam Q&A:
“Khimaar comes from the word khamr, the root meaning of which is to cover. For example, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Khammiru aaniyatakum (cover your vessels).” Everything that covers something else is called its khimaar. But in common usage khimaar has come to be used as a name for the garment with which a woman covers her head; in some cases this does not go against the linguistic meaning of khimaar. Some of the fuqahaa’ have defined it as that which covers the head, the temples and the neck. The difference between the hijaab and the khimaar is that the hijaab is something which covers all of a woman’s body, whilst the khimaar in general is something with which a woman covers her head.”

Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Albani:
“The word khimaar linguistically means only a head covering. Whenever it is mentioned in general terms, this is what is intended.”

What is the woman’s jayb?

The usual translation of the term is “bosom”. The word “jayb” has also given its name to a certain type of mathematical curve (see The Origin of the Word Sine).

As well, Surah al-Qasas ayah 32 in Arabic reads “Usluk yadaka fii JAYB ka takhrur bayda’a…” which means “Thrust your hand into your chest and it will come out white…” (this is a story about the prophet Musa, alayhi salam).

Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Albani says that the word “jayb” is related to the word “jawb” which refers to something cut out, and he says that in this context it refers to the neckline of the woman’s dress.

In any case, all of these definitions clearly point to the bosom, the upper chest, or the neck and upper chest. They certainly do not mean “face” or “entire body”!
