Does anyone ever see a Muslims face?

Almost no Muslim men cover their faces. (If they do, it is for non-religious reasons such as putting on a mask to hide one's identity, etc.) Most Muslim women do show their face, either by wearing no headscarf or by wearing a hijaab or abaya/chador which leaves the entire face exposed. As concerns Muslim women who cover their faces in public, they will relax the covering in front of a group of all women or in front of men who are their close relations and thus unsuitable for marriage. I, as a non-Muslim, have seen Muslim faces.


What is the difference between burka and hijab?

A burka is a full-body covering garment that includes a mesh screen over the eyes, worn by some Muslim women. A hijab is a headscarf that covers the hair and neck, leaving the face visible. Both are worn by Muslim women for modesty reasons, but the burka covers the entire body while the hijab covers the head and neck.


Do you need to wear a scarf to be a Muslim?

Yes because when you convert to Islam it means that you are committed to follow the rules. the whole reason for the headscarf is that 1. its not all about beauty, its about personality, if a man loves a women for her beauty it would be called animalistic Love, Islam is against animalistic love. 2. Hijaab is for respect, if you go out wearing a short skirt and a tight top and a man goes past you and checks you out in a sexual way then that's not respect is it?, Hijaab is a responsibility, when you reach puberty you are responsible to hide your beauty. By the way most women in the west get raped for showing there beauty alot. So when you wear Hijaab its like your trying to say that i do not want to be touched or disrespected. No there is in fact no rule in the actual religion that expects Muslim women to wear a head scarf. There are many Muslim women that do not wear a head scarf. For example Turkey is a largely Muslim country and the headscarf is not permitted in many places there.In places where every woman does, many do so because of intimidation __________________________________________________________ Although it is requirement to cover your head, hair, and neck by wearing Hijab (or head scarf) but to be a Muslim without wearing Hijab is more statisfactory than not being Muslim at all.


Do women have to wear scarves in Morocco?

No. Morocco has no laws concerning the hijaab/veil/scarf. About half of Moroccan women wear the hijaab (especially the rural and older demographics) and about half of Moroccan women do not cover up (especially in the cities and younger demographics). There is no social stigma either way. Morocco has very few Niqab-wearers.


Is it more holy for Muslim women to wear a niqab?

NO. There is no requirement in Islam for a woman to veil beyond the hijaab. The niqab, burqa, abaya, and similar more extensive clothing are the results of culture, not Islamic Law.


How do women dress in the middle east?

Answer 1Depends on the religious beliefs of the woman and where she lives. Christians the normal Clothes, as well as Muslims but women Muslim can wear the Hijjab if she wants to protect herself from the eyes of people on the street.Answer 2It depends on the woman and the country in which she lives. There are places like Israel and Turkey, where many women wear western-style clothing, and do not cover their hair. On the flip-side, you have places like Saudi Arabia and Iran, where women dress more conservatively, using traditional Arab female robes.Additionally, many Muslim women use cover-ups which are discussed below.The Various Cover-upsHijaab and Khimar: The least conservative form of woman's veil is the Hijaab also known as Khimar, Dilbant, or Jilbant. Hijaab comes from the Arabic word for curtain or cover and according to Islamic scholarship, the Hijaab is given the wider meaning of modesty and privacy. It is a piece of cloth that covers all or most of the woman's hair and circles down to the chin. If a woman wears only a Hijaab, her face would still be clearly visible, although her hair (and usually her ears) would be hidden from view.Abaya or Chador: The next piece of cloth that is of a similarly-conservative nature to the Hijaab is the Abaya also known as the Chador. The difference between a Hijaab and an Abaya is that an Abaya extends to the rest of the body. (In a sense an Abaya is a Hijaab-dress combination). This garment is commonly worn by Iranian women. Saudi women also wear an Abaya but compliment it with a Niqab.Niqab: This is a piece of cloth that covers the face, at least everything beneath the eyes. In many instances the Niqab continues all of the way up to the hair line. In those cases, a slit is cut for the woman's eyes, but her face remains concealed. Niqabs are worn almost exclusively with Hijaabs and Abayas. If a woman (in theory) were to only wear a niqab, her hair would and chin would exposed as the Niqab only covers the front of the face.Yashmak: This is a piece of cloth which combines the lower half of a Niqab (i.e. the part below the eyes) with a partial Hijaab so that most of the hair is covered. This headcovering used to be popular in Egypt, but is now being phased out for Hijaab and Hijaab-Niqab wearing.Burqa: This is a garment modeled on the Abaya, but instead of leaving the face exposed, the Burqa covers the entire face. The upper part of the face is replaced with a mesh so that the woman can see out, but otherwise the woman cannot be seen or see out from beneath the fabric.

Are Muslims allowed to communicate with other people?

Basically, you are allowed to talk to anyone if it is for necessary reasons. For example, a Muslim man can talk to a Muslim women or a non Muslim women if it is necessary. Also, a Muslim can talk freely (within boundaries) to any other of the same gender. For example, a Muslim man to another Muslim man and a Muslim women to another Muslim women.
