Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said in his "Majmoo' al fatawa" that : > والحجاب مختص بالحرائر دون الإماء كما كانت سنة المؤمنين في زمن النبي > صلى الله عليه وسلم وخلفائه أن الحرة تحتجب والأمة تبرز وكان عمر رضي > الله عنه إذا رأى أمة مختمرة ضربها وقال أتتشبهين بالحرائر أي لكاع فيظهر > من الأمة رأسها ويداها ووجهها. > > > "Hijab is exclusive to free women; its not for slaves. Its similar to > what was the practice of the faithful followers in the time of the > Prophet and those who came after him, that a free women veils while > the slave woman reveals. When Umar saw a slave girl wearing a veil, he > hit her and said, 'Do you want to resemble a free woman, you fool?'. > Its allowed for a slave girl to show her head, hands and face" Is this the correct translation?
