[quote]<p align=justify>Perhaps, if you could quote the [i] Ahadith [/i]which you have read, I would be better able to respond to your question.

<p align=justify>Anyhow most Muslim scholars believe that [i] Ahadith [/i] do not make anything obligatory in the religious sense of the term. The fundamental sources of Islam are two, namely, the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah. When these are devoid of any obligation on the part of Muslim ladies to cover their heads while reciting, we should not assert that this specific practice of covering the head falls under [i] Fardh [/i] (obligatory) duties.

<p align=justify>Nevertheless any cultural practice does have its own importance. Why? Because culture is a broad manifestation of the set of divine directives which have been given to mankind. Allah has given certain commandments and the Muslims, under the influence of these commandments, have adopted certain practices, attitudes etc. While these practices are not obligatory, they nonetheless have evolved under the influence of the divine commandments.Seen in this perspective, cultural practices do have some importance and adherence to them is a noble act. Again, we must be very clear that these practices are not divinely ordained.
