Sorry for a completely off-topic question, but do any Muslim women wear burqa or hijab made of polarfleece or some other toasty warm cloth in the winter? We're experiencing winter here and the question has come up :)
(it just seems tricky to ask the neighbours what they wear... so I'm asking you, sorry)
now that is a funny question to be discussing! do you think our dress requirements include an injunction to freeze?!
for burqa-wearing women, they'd just wear a sweatshirt or other warm clothing under the burqa, and they may also have a thicker coat (if they use a two piece burqa). for women who wear hijab, similar. i just wear a winter coat and warmer clothing and have my usual headscarf in place.
Of course I didn't expect an injunction to freeze, we were curious about specific cold-weather outer garments. Warm clothing underneath makes perfect sense, but we only seem to see cotton/linen outer garments and were wondering whether there were alternatives.

sorry moz, i was just kidding, should have put a smiley thingy next to the comment.
yeah, if they're still wearing thin outer garments, then i'm pretty sure they'd have warm clothing on underneath.
