I heard from some people that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to place a covering on his head so that it would not get dirty from the sands of the desert and the dust.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : Among the questions, he says: I heard from some people that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to place a covering on his head so that it would not get dirty from the sands of the desert and the dust, and the Companions did the same, and that this is not from the Sunnah; is this correct?
The Shaykh : As far as I understood... his last statement contradicts the first; he heard such and such, and that it is not from the Sunnah; repeat the sentence for me.
Eid Abbasi : Yes, that is right. He heard that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions used to place a covering on the head in order not to get dirty from the sands of the desert and the dust.
The Shaykh: All right.
Eid Abbasi : And that this is not from the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : He heard this and that? In any case, the question is incorrect.
Eid Abbasi : The intended meaning is the apparent Sunnah, meaning worship.
Another questioner: I say ... .
The Shaykh : In any case, we, the question contains an error, perhaps psychological or linguistic, Allah knows best about it.
The important point is that it is not in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to place a khimar on his head for the reason mentioned, a covering for the reason mentioned, but it is in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had an imamah, and this imamah is a khimar that is used to cover the head, and it can be manipulated in many forms; meaning this "hat" that we call it today, or in some countries "bidadah," this is the imamah, and in reality it can be wrapped around the head when working, in the heat, the "shub," a sunstroke, it can be used to wrap oneself to ward off the harm of cold and the like; so this was in use, until it was mentioned in some authentic hadiths; where he (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) ordered wiping over the leather socks and the khimar.
He ordered, meaning he granted a dispensation for wiping over the leather socks and the khimar, the leather socks are the clothing for the feet, and the khimar is the clothing for the head, the wise Lawgiver granted a dispensation for wiping over the khimar without doing this and wiping your entire head, no; you wipe over it, so wearing this covering that the questioner mentioned, which is the khimar or the imamah, is established in the Sunnah in many hadiths, but the reason mentioned that it is to ward off the dust of the desert and the sands of the desert and the like, some people may say it as a philosophy or reason for this clothing; as we philosophize and say: to ward off the heat or the cold, for example, but that it was mentioned in the Sunnah, we do not know of any basis for it in it.
