B. quoted:


>Sura 24, verse 31:
>and to draw their veils over their bosoms,

Some of my friends are Muslim women, and others are non-Muslim women, a number of whom are irreligious, but neither seem to go about their lives with their bosoms bare for all to see. As a matter of fact, I don't either.


>Tafseer - Ibn Katheer
>"Allah commanded the muslim women to cover this sheet on top of them
>to cover their bodies except one eye, when it is necessary for them
>to come out of their homes."

And how many Muslim women in the world actually cover their bodies except one eye? -- Yoshie
