Summer the hot JewMuslim

[Rayaan]

I've got black or a white and blue headcloth, Rayaan, take your pick.

I pick neither of them. Why?

Because this headcovering thing that many Muslim women wear is not an Islamic directive at all, but rather a cultural/social custom that started way before Islam, according to my knowledge. And secondly, there is no verse in the Quran that tells Muslims woman to dress that way. It only tells women to dress modestly and to cover their chest areas, but it doesn't specifically tell them to put it on their heads and their entire bodies.

Kilic explained it in more details how this was originally a cultural custom that was later perceived as a part of Islam, even though it is not. See the post below:
