  Hijab - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In this case, it most often refers to a square scarf which is folded diagonally and worn over the head to cover the hair, ears and throat, but not the face.
The word used in the Qu'ran for a headscarf is "khimar", which might be better to use when referring to headscarves in general, as many people argue that this use of "hijab" is incorrect, and it can certainly lead to confusion.
The word 'veil' is originally in Arabic word 'khimar' (خمار), other translation is head-covering, head-scarf in general as written in previous section.

 What is the Khimar?
Those who argue that niqab is fard often attempt to argue that the khimar commanded by Surah an-Nur ayah 31 is a niqab, i.e., it covers the face.
When Allah SWT commanded the women to draw their khimars to cover their bosoms, the women were to draw the ends of the khimar forward and fasten it so that their foreheads, ears, necks, and upper chests were covered.
The conclusion is plain: the khimar is NOT a niqab.

 A Study of Surah an-Nur, Ayah 31 by Al-Muhajabah
In order to say that the khimar is a garment which covers the face, therefore, it must be specified that it covers the "face".
It is easy to see how pulling the ends forward again and pulling the khimar tightly around the circle of the face then fastening it at the throat, letting the ends fall downwards, would cover the forehead, ears, neck, and upper chest, as Imam Qurtubi and Imam ibn Kathir have specified.
In classical Arabic, the khimar is the headcovering or headscarf, and the jayb is the bosom or more generally the neck and upper chest.

The older started wearing the khimar last winter, I felt I would start her them cause it would be cooler than summer and easier for her to adjust to, Insha'Allah.
So when I first started her with the khimar I would remind her that she had to put it on, just to see if she wanted to wear it.

 Female Dress Code and Common Errors in Translation; Submission (Islam)
Khimar was intentionally MADE to mean “head cover” by scholars who wished to enforce their personal understandings which, ironically, contradict God in the Quran.
A curtain is a khimar because it covers a window, a tablecloth is a khimar because it covers a table, a dress is a khimar because it covers the body (any dress is considered a khimar; khimar is not limited to a head cover).
A blanket can be used as a khimar, a shawl is a khimar, etc. Most of the translators, influenced by Hadith translate the word as VEIL and thus mislead most people to believe that this verse is advocating the covering of the head.

Thus, the use of the Khimar is to be used to cover the breasts for modesty.
Thus, special attention to women's Khimar was revealed in the Qur'an due to her having breasts.
I agree with you that the directive of the Qur’an for women is to spread their head coverings over their bosoms and that Khimar is only referred to because that was the normal head covering for the Arab woman.

 The Correct Islamic Ruling on the Muslim Woman’s Dress
There are a few Muslims that argue that the hijab or khimar (headcovering) is not an Islamic obligation commanded by the Islamic texts but rather a personal choice of the woman.
In addition, when the woman leaves her home and enters the public arena, she has been commanded to wear the khimar (a head cover that covers the entire head, neck, and the chest) and the jilbab (a one piece outer dress that covers her indoor clothes and drapes down to the floor).
It is not sufficient that she wears the khimar accompanied by a skirt and blouse or shirt and trousers.

 Opinion
The Arabic is ‘wal yadribna bi khumurihinna ala juyubihinna’ which means that women should take their khimars and strike with it or place it upon their bosoms.
The jurists add that the khimar was a cloth worn by women in pre-Islamic times on the neck and that it was normally thrown toward the back leaving the head and chest exposed.
The verse apparently instructs that the piece of cloth normally worn on the head (the khimar) or neck be made to cover the bosom or to descend down to the point of touching the cloth.

 Umm Fatimah Eye Veils Reasons
It wasn't until about six months later was the true Islamic hijab explained to me. A khimar with western styled clothing does not pass as Islamic hijab for the Muslim woman, our dress has be dictated in the Qur'an and as well as the authentic ahadiths of Muhammad[saw].
The head scarf is a khimar, when worn along with a jilbab then it becomes Islamic hijab at the minimum, and the covering of the whole body including the face and hands is the fullest, Insha'Allah.
When I was in school I would still wear the khimar with the skirt and shirt, but I knew I could not keep doing this since I knew the correct way for the Muslimah to dress, and I enjoyed others Muslims know I was Muslim in jilbab.

 The Volokh Conspiracy - Does a Female Muslim Police Officer Have a Right To Wear a Khimar?
Webb's claim is chiefly that her religious practice of wearing the khimar (which, I'm told, is "a headscarf worn by observant Muslim women that hangs down to just above the waist") must therefore be accommodated.
The word "khimar" might not necessarily refer to the long shawl along with the scarf that comes down to the waist (even though that may be one defintiion).
If the Khimar does not interfere with her role as a police officer, then I see no problem-just as in a police officer wearing a turban in New York city as many Allied soldiers did during the first and second world wars in Europe.
