Answers

Answered by lfstone3

In Saudi Arabia many women wear a black dress also known as burkha because it is a Muslim suni law.

Answered by france

Actually women in Saudi do not wear a BURQA...its actually an ABYA which must be BLACK in colour (but now the colour code has become more lenient). This is so because it is their culture and a part of their early traditions. When the modern nation was formed...it was based on the pact that had been signed between the ruling Al Saud monarchy and a group of people who were very critical of the SHARIA LAW (the Islamic law) where women are supposed to wear an Abya. This tradition is continued even today.

france: hope this helps u ... :)

lfstone3: Oh yea sharia and was thinking its suni. Sorry.

lfstone3: So whats the difference between a burqa and abya

france: abaya is from neck to toe where as burqa is from head to toe...its common in Afghanistan and not in GULF COUNTRIES

france: OH N BTW....the sharia law IS by the Sunnis ...so...

lfstone3: Ok.

lfstone3: Ur a Muslim?

lfstone3: So is there tha khaa sound after burqa
