:salam2: wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
well just thought that i would like to share my experience when i was at oman recently
mashaAllah sister
do u know that women can freely walk outside alone even at night
without having any fear of being attacked or disturbed by menbut surely it must be in one condition -that they wear their traditional clothes ; an abaya that is called - its the long clothes all in black but the women isnt necessarily have to close their face
well the point is- they can go outside freely without any fear and yes i see many people even walk in the night becos its safe there
my cousin who works there said so too
but of course its always advisable for women that wants to go out to bring along their mahram with them
and the social life between men and women there are nearly to none
becos even at their homes-men and women eat at separate living rooms
i guess most arab countries are like that
and i think it must be the same in SA as our dear sister KSA_lover said
mashaAllah how nice it would be if all countries are like that
anyways sorry cos it isnt much related to the topic of this thread
barakallahu fikum
