Why Are Women Praised In Words But Restricted In Practice?
Islam teaches both the genders the same manners: lower their gaze and guard their private parts. There is no discrimination. Then he tells women if they adorn themselves, the need to cover their adrnemt except for that what remains exposed. Since men do not adorn themselves there this additional directive is only for women. If a women doesn’t adorn herself the additional directive to cover her adornment doesn’t associate to them. The veil to cover while going out is to establish a sign to warn the mischievous ones not to tease the women. This veil was used to end their excuse that they just talked to a woman considering her a slave girl. They were told that they would be thrown out of Madina if they continue after this warning. So far as the religion is concerned it doesn’t discriminate. Then comes the society. Society runs with its biases. One should not confuse thr conduct of the society with religion. Society needed to correct its conduct in the light of the religion.
