Driving License without NOC

The rule came into effect last week across the UAE, making it easier for all, especially those in the low income group to learn to drive and enhance their chances of employment in the country.  Earlier, only people from 66 select professional categories were allowed to open a file for driving lessons without obtaining an NOC from their employers. Low income group workers such as waiters, domestic helps, shop salespersons and blue collar workers and some others were not allowed to start taking driving lessons without obtaining a permission from their employers. Now the new rule has ensured equal opportunities for all.  Following the federal decision, Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a circular to driving schools in Dubai informing them about the new regulation.  “This is a very positive step because it will make it easier for all those who want to obtain driving licenses to open a file at any driving institute” said Fatima Raees, director of Customer Service and Mark

There are two issues about this sentence: 1. What is the meaning of “khumur” used in this verse? Khumur خُمُرٌ is plural of khimarخِمَارٌ , the veil covering the head. Al-Munjid, which is the most popular dictionary in the Arab world, defines al-khimar as “something with which a woman conceals her head —ما تغطى به المرأة رأسها .” Fakhrud-Din al-Turayhi in Majma ul-Bahrayn (which is a dictionary of Qur’anic and hadith terms) defines al-khimar as “scarf, and it is known as such because the hea
