Ibn Sirin

Scarf — Islamic interpretation

From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Scarf" (page 375) — resolved via the equivalent "Head cover" entry.

If a religious Muslim woman sees herself without a head cover in a dream, it means that her husband has left her with the intention not to return to her again. If she is not married, it means that she may never marry.

Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
