Is removing the khimar and sufficing with an echarpe considered apostasy, and can a wrap-around khimar be a substitute for a sewn khimar?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to suffice with the headscarf, and removing the khimar or not wearing it is a sin that does not reach the level of apostasy. Adorning oneself is forbidden, and wearing a wrapped khimar instead of a sewn one is permissible.
