"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their Furûj (private parts), and disclose not their adornments except only that which is apparent, and that they should draw their headcovers over their Juyûb (bosoms), and that they disclose not their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or what their right hands possess, or such of male attendants who have no sexual desire, or young children who have not attained the knowledge of women's private parts. And that they should not stamp their feet lest what they hide of their ornaments be known. And turn you to all together, O believers, that you may be successful." (V
Khimar (headcloth), or headcover
This is the cloth which covers all of the hair on the head, while the word, 'Juyûb' (pl. of Jaib) means not only the bosom, as commonly thought, but it includes the neck too. Imam Al- Qurtubi, an eminent Qur'ân commentator,
"Women in those days used to cover their heads with the Khimâr, throwing its ends on their backs, behind their ears leaving the neck, and the upper part of the chest uncovered, just as Christian women used to do.,
The possession of the right hand are the bondsmen and bondswomen.
