As we will explain later in detail, in the Qur'an, women are
advised to cover their entire bodies when necessary so as not to be
bothered. However, God left it to women to decide if the conditions
require such a measure. According to the Qur'an, when women must
go where they think they might be verbally or physically bothered or
harassed, they wear a jilbab which will cover them from head to toe,

and not hug their figure.

Let us also remember here that the hadith collection refers to
men and women purifying themselves from the same bowl in the
time of our Prophet (pbuh). (See Sahih Bukhari, Wudu 43; Sunan Abu
Dawud, Kitab al-Taharah 39; Sunan ibn Majah, Taharah 36; an-Nasai,
Taharah 56) Since the areas purified are the feet, the
arms as far as the elbows, the face and the head,

it appears from the hadiths that women were
alongside men and had their heads uncovered.
However, the one unifying feature of the other-
wise fractious fanatics is that they completely

ignore those hadiths that do not suit them.
Since our sole guide is the Qur'an,
and the accounts given in the Qur'an

are as explicit as can be, women being
present alongside men with their
heads uncovered is a behavior entirely
compatible with the Qur'an.
