2. H. Al Banna (Al Mar'a al Muslimah, compiled and edited by Muhammad Nasir al-Diin Al Albani, Cairo: Daar al Kutub al Salafaiyah, 1983) extended the meaning of hijab as in Qur'an (33:53) to the form of modest clothes for all Muslim women, resulting in two misconceptions: (1) referring to the woman's head-cover (khimar) as hijab and confusing the word jilbab (Qur'an 33:59) in reference to women's outer garment or cloak with hijab; (2) extending the use of hijab from mere respect for the privacy of Prophet Muhammad's wives to implying complete segregation between the sexes among all Muslims.
