The questions continue:

A very hilarious, yet rude question that Muslimahs get asked is, "Are you bald under that scarf?" Now, first of all, this is a very personal question for someone who might be terminally ill and undergoing chemotherapy. Second, I would imagine that it's obvious how we are always trying to hide stubborn hair that keeps sticking out from under the scarves. We try wearing these little bandannas under the scarves so that the hair can stay put. We try many things, now why would we do that if we were bald? Okay, I am going to answers this in a direct way now, no we are not bald. We have hairs of all colors and sizes; we just hide this beauty for those we love.

Another question is, "Do you wear the scarf inside the house or do you sleep with it?" This can fall into a couple of categories. First, it all depends on who is in the house with us. If it's only our father, brothers, nephews, grandfathers, uncles, sons, husband, father-in-law, stepson, children who have no understanding of sexual relations, and Muslim females amongst some others, then no, we do not wear the scarf inside the house. We can also wear whatever makes us comfortable as long as it's still modest and respectful to ourselves and those around us. However, if the people in the house include those that are not mentioned in the list such as male cousins, male friends, male neighborhoods, etc. then yes, we do wear the scarf and cover fully inside as we would outside. As far as sleeping with the scarf goes, we'll be sleeping alone, so no we don't wear it when we sleep.

That's it for now; stay tuned for part three to learn more about the way Muslim women dress.
