Women not required to cover faces, hands and feet under Sharia: CII

You mean Ameen.

It is with proper education, people will give up traditions which have nothing to do with Islam.

Can't comment on the religious aspect of it but logically this is one of the best decisions ever.
How can you expect a woman to be covered from head to toe in a climate like that of the subcontinent??? (Atleast some part of Pakistan like Karachi does get a lot of sunlight and heat).

Good going clergy!!! Me likey. :-)

How do we know they are familiar with it?
Beyond their attire which they seem tk standardize; what proof can they bring other than repeating a few verses in front of you and saying this is what they mean?

Do you try rechecking if it is what they are saying it is?
Their first language isn't arabic most of the tkme and 95% of the time they are repeating a translation of quran found at Urdu bazaar

Always better to research yourself in these times from at the least two or three different sources from different schools of thought

You, sir, deserve a medal.

Not arguing for or against...but here are 7 other translations of the same verse - You've obviously used the one from Mohsin Khan

Sahih International: O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

Pickthall: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

Yusuf Ali: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Shakir: O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Muhammad Sarwar: Prophet, tell your wives, daughters, and the wives of the believers to cover their bosoms and breasts. This will make them distinguishable from others and protect them from being annoyed. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.

Mohsin Khan: O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.

Arberry: O Prophet, say to thy wives and daughters and the believing women, that they draw their veils close to them; so it is likelier they will be known, and not hurt. God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.

Thank you for proving that the text of the Quran, and therefore Islam in general, is open to interpretation.

لا اکرہ فی الدین
If women do it on their own then i think there is no problem in that. Allah pak urged in Quran to women not show their beauty to people except Husbands, Fathers, Fathers in law Brothers , Brothers of fathers and Mothers, Sons, younger males who do not know beauty matters. These among males.
So some women will have more taqwa so may be they will cover them up fully.
