In this clip from the Surah 24: Al Nur Project Illumine Halaqa, Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl comments on verse 31 in the chapter. In particular, the Shaykh discusses the history and social significance of the headcover in Islam (or, Khimar) at the time of Qur’anic revelation.

Also in this clip, Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl discusses: the meaning of Zina and Tabarruj; practices on social media today; substantive modesty; the objectification and commercialization of women; and the importance of women being engaged in such conversations.

The Shaykh discusses more on this topic at the end of the Project Illumine Q&A on Surah Ahzab and Tahmir.
