You mean the same Hijab who says the Quran allows grown men to have sex with five-year-old girls? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/EgfGDvDGJL

From: Lifting The Veil: Muslim Women Explain Their Choice by… | The Angry Black Woman

                         Image via WikipediaThis is real interesting. The choice in question is whether or not to wear a hijab. Living in America, I haven't seen many Muslim women wearing full burquas, but hijabs are very common. I agree with the women in the video that what one - man or woman - wears should not have a bearing on judging anyone's faithfulness or spiritual state. It doesn't make anyone more or less holy. Not saying that we don't need humility or modesty but it just doesn't sit well with me imposing a dresscode on people just because of their gender. I applauded the women in the video but it made me wonder: IF the Islamic texts and traditions say that women need to wear hijabs can you still be a Muslim. If Muhammad had said that women must do something, and he was truly saying what God says, then how can they set it aside. I don't have to set it aside the Bible because it contradicts those ideas.

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God. - 1 Corinthians 11:13-16

And Jesus taught that it's not what is on your outside but what comes out of us from the inside.

²⁵ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
²⁷ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. - Matthew 23:25-28

thegrandverbalizer posted an article defending the tradition of women covering their heads.  He refers to 1 Corinthians 11:4-16 but only quotes vs 4-6. Let's look at the whole passage:

⁴ Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. ⁵ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. ⁶ For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

 ⁷ A man ought not to cover his head,^[a] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. ⁸ For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; ⁹ neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. ¹⁰ It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own^[b] head, because of the angels. ¹¹ Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. ¹² For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

 ¹³ Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? ¹⁴ Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, ¹⁵ but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. ¹⁶ If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God. 

The Bible is clear - there is no Biblical mandate for women to cover their heads! Of course there is nothing wrong with a woman covering her head, but the Bible says that it's up to us to decide. Let your culture be your guide as to what women wear when they pray.
