Comment on In some heavy Muslim countries women seems always to wear a black hijab and get in trouble for not wearing one. Why don't they wear colorful ones or with slogans? Is black all to wear?

    Every culture interprets modesty differently. Many muslim cultures don’t have hijabs but have other hair coverings similar to the ones Christians and Jewish women are required to wear.

    India is not a ‘heavy muslim country’.

      Islam is India’s second-largest religion, with 14.2% of the country’s population, or approximately 172.2 million people

      sort it by Muslim population. India is third.

        India isn’t a culturally muslim country and nor us India a country where Islam and the associated modesty rules are heavily imposed.

        Go troll somewhere else.

      So it has nothing to do with modesty?

        Socially constructed idea varies by society.

        Who’d’ve guessed?

        You’ll find very colourfully yet modestly dressed Muslim women in Indonesia, India, Kenya, Senegal, and more.

  This.

  There can be local differences in the dress code as long as it’s considered modest in the local culture (عُرْف, ie. convention or norm) and it does not show what has to be covered as part of a woman’s عَوْرَة (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimate_parts_in_Islam).

  So in some areas it is socially acceptable to have colours while in others the norm is all black.
