In Islam, men and women do different things and wear different things according to their
culture. While men usually keep themselves covered at least from the navel to the knees, this
rule has often been taken to mean that women must be covered from head to toe, only showing
their wrists, feet, face-and, in some cases, only their eyes. Whereas women, are required to
wear a burka, a narrow cloak that encases the body from head to toe. -Religions Of The World
