Women covering their hair at the time of Azaan

Q: Is it appropriate to cover head specifically for the Adhan or not? Women cover their heads with scarves during the Adhan and specifically for the Adhan. These women say it is respectful to do so. However, someone else said that this is something new in Islam and wasn't there before.

A: Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/2513

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
