Question:
The jayb that is now placed on the chest is called a "jayb"?
Answer:
It is its jayb, a jayb connected to the loop at the neck. This is not called a jayb except for this jayb. It is derived from jawb, which means a slit: [Al-Fajr:9] meaning they split the rock. To jawb a land is to traverse it: when one walks in it, travels through it, and roams in it. So jawb means a slit. The jayb is called a jayb because it is slit so that the head and shoulders can enter when putting on the garment and when taking it off.
