Okay, you guys aren't getting it. I'm not saying the hijab is an Arab thing and I definitely don't wanna make this a debate about whether hijab (as in covering your head) is required or not because we've had more than enough of those on Islamica. If you want another one for after the crash, then make a different thread. And just for the record, I'm of the view that hijab
is an Islamic requirement.
What I'm saying is that nobody can say her hijab isn't proper hijab as "hijab" means different things culturally. A chador can be a hijab too. Her dupatta in this case is covering her head, no? And her body is covered with a shalwar kameez. You guys can be anal and say "Yeah, her ears are showing and and a little bit of her forearm is showing", but she is effectively covering herself. She is practicing purdah.
Pakistani women wear shalwar kameez and dupattas to cover their heads and bosoms and Pakistani scholars don't seem to have a problem with that. They don't know their Islam?
