Why do Muslim woman's like wearing a scarf or burka?

Answer 1

Updated AnswerWearing Burka is not an Islamic requirement. Wearing Burka comes out from some local cultures and traditions. However, wearing Burka is not rejected by religion. What is mandatory in Islam is to wear cloth that covers the whole body, including hair, except the face and the hands. That cloth:

• should not be so tight to describe the woman body or sexy parts, and
  
• should not be so transparent to make the under cloth visible.

The part of the cloth covering the head (and hair) but not the face is called Hijab.

Answer

They wear Burka because they are commanded by Islam to cover their bodies and not to show it to any outsider person. For this reason, Muslim women use various methods to cover their bodies. Some use scarves, some veils, and some Burka; the basic objective remains the same.

Answer 2

Updated AnswerWearing burkas (or face cover) is neither compulsory nor rejected by religion. It is merely a matter of local cultures and traditions. The religion requirement for women clothing is to cover whole body, including hair and head, except face and hands that they remain uncovered. The clothing should be neither tight (to figure her body) nor transparent (to reveal what is underneath).

AnswerThe reason of Burka is to cut the roots of social evils : sex and rapes etc.

In burka a lady is full covered so the men can't take bad sights on her.

No 1 wants some stranger to see the body parts of her mother or sister,right?

Answer 3

The Burqa is worn to hide the figure of an Islamic woman.

This practice is not a religion requirement. It is due to local community cultures and tradition.

Answer 4

Muslim woman likes this because a scarf or burka makes her feel secured from men having satanic eyes on her. I have someones remark on the scarf which reads: "No man will whistle at a hijabicovered head to toe."

Answer 5

It is local cultures and practices in some regions to wear burkas, It is not an Islamic religion requirement and not also denied by religion. It is per woman choice to wear burkas or not. The religion requirement is for Muslim woman to wear hijab that covers hair, head, and neck but not covering face and/or hands.

Answer 6

according to Islam women should cover their body unless face and hand when they are in public.

but covering face is not necessary but is recommended in Islam. so some Muslim woman prefer to also cover to their face for more nearness to God.
