Saiks,
I will find the passage for you but what is says is to "tell the believing women to cover themselves and the believing men to lower their gaze. Covering of hair and dressing in a moderate way that does not reveal a woman's form or expose your bossom, see through clothing etc is what the sunnah of Rasululllah says.
I have seen sisters cover everything and just leave peepholes for their eyes but my belief is that some of those extremes are cultural.

Sister Jabou,
Interesting to learn from you a new thing in this debate.I was listening to a debate on the issue and one of the Muslim ladies in the debate insisted that there is no mention of the Hijab in the koran.May be I over heard this or that she was referring to the extreme form (could not remember the name),mostly seen in Afghanistan,until in one of my trip back home when i saw some Gambian women under that hot sun dressing that way.Which of the many forms is mentioned in the koran ?
For freedom
