What is the impact of wearing veil by Muslim women on their work opportunities?

Answer 1

• It is not an Islam religion requirement for Muslim women to cover their faces with a veil and to cover their hands with gloves. Accordingly, Islam religion neither forbids nor commands wearing veil. The Islam religion requirement is to cover head, hair, and neck and not required to cover face or hands. Women are allowed to wear clothing of any material, any color, any fashion as long as not tight to describe woman body and not transparent to show what underneath.
• wearing veil is per cultures and traditions of some countries (not per Islam religion), accordingly women wearing veils in those countries may be able to find work according to the rules of these countries. However, it is understood that veiled Muslim women could not have work opportunities to work in non Muslim countries and even in some Muslim countries.

Answer 2

Generally yes

Muslim women who wear the veil do not have any intention of working or contributing to their community and society. I believe there is no employer, who is willing to give them a job, when they can not even see their faces, to communicate in a normal manner. These women have completely excluded themselves from normal working society.

However, the following points are important to be higlighted:

• It is not an Islam religion requirement for Muslim women to cover their faces with a veil and to cover their hands with gloves. Accordingly, Islam religion neither forbids nor commands wearing veil. The Islam religion requirement is to cover head, hair, and neck and not required to cover face or hands. Women are allowed to wear clothing of any material, any color, any fashion as long as not tight to describe woman body and not transparent to show what underneath.
• wearing veil is per cultures and traditions of some countries (not per Islam religion), accordingly women wearing veils in those countries may be able to find work according to the rules of these countries.

Another point of viewI understand that some of these women, who wear the veil may be able to work in an Islamic countries, but it may prove quite difficult to gain any employment, in countries such as England or USA. Therefore unable to contribute to there community and society, because communication will be quite difficult, when you can not see some one's facial expressions, which is normal part of communication between people to people.

Hint on the above

I fully agree that for women wearing veil it is very difficult to work in a non Muslim countries and even in some Muslim countries.

ANSWER

I live in South East of London, and have notice an increase in numbers of young and old women, who have began to wear the veil, in the past 2 years. To my understanding these women are born and educated in this country. what I don't understand, why would most of these women give up ambition, to become doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers, an important member of there community, just to hide away under the veil in the name of Islam. I myself was born and educated in this county and have always worked, since I have finished my full time education. I couldn't imagine living like these women, who have no desire to work or to be an important member of there society. I don't think I will ever understand.
