What is the name of the clothes muslim women wear when they are praying?
Woman has to cover her head and wear loose clothes in order not to induce the male person’s sexual attention. It need not be a big black gown like the middle east women wear. It can be of any color and any model. Only condition is it should explicitly show the beauty of the woman. Likewise we have veil for men also. In fact it is more difficult one. He has to cover his body (Waist to Ankle bottom) and also lower his gaze when he meets a woman. Both these veils are to protect man and woman from the evil effects like rape, molestation etc.
