If you visit Arab countries, it becomes apparent that even Muslims have different interpretations of the Quran with regards to the hijab. For example, some places in Iran require women to wear black, full-body veil; the woman can see outside because of the sheer material surrounding the eye area but nobody can see her. And in Saudi Arabia, face veil (only the eyes are visible) are widely used. But what they agree upon is that no private body part, or the figure of the woman, should be displayed in public.
