The Meaning of Layah in the Hadith of Umm Salimah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Umm Salimah when she had covered her head, he said: Does the meaning of layah (covering the head) involve the woman twisting her khimar (head covering) from the top of the head and passing it under the chin?
Answer:
It is all permissible. The important thing is that it is a single knot, either under the chin or on the head only, once. Do not make it like a man’s turban, twisting it into several knots. Yes.
