I interviewed, Sabahat Adil. She studied Arabic Culture. She is a reliable source because she knows what she is talking about, and really gave me helpful information. I interviewd her about a week or two ago over the phone.
Why do women wear the Hijab?
- As a sign of modesty.
- To cover thier "beautiful hair" and the most beautiful parts of them.
- Only some areas in the middle east wear them, not all Arabic cultures.
- Also provides protection from the hot sun and dust (climate) in that area.
Do women wear the same in their house as they do in public?
- No, they cover thier bodies in public. Some wear the hijab, others just wear the loose fitted clothing, such as tunics.
- In their home they can wear what ever they please. (Less modest clothing. Ex. Women do not wear the hijab at home.)
- Some women do wear the same at home as they do in public, but it is a personal opinion for every woman.
Why do woman wear more modest clothing than men?
- The men still wear modest clothing.
- Their beard kind of acts like a hijab, because their long beards cover their face.
- Some men will also wear hats to cover their hair as well, and to show a sign of respect for woman.
