Farzana writes: 

“....The Quran for one, does not exhort Muslim women to cover their hair, nor does it prescribe a punishment for those who resist it.  Islam therefore does not enjoin the hijab, though Sharia, which is largely man-made promotes it....”
 

Can she clear the confusion over the verse that directs women “draw their head coverings over their bosoms?”.  Would this mean a loose covering like “Duppata” that stays over the head and chest or a loose cloth that covers the head as well as the chest? Or would this mean ignore the head but cover the chest? 

Thanks.
