Its not for looking unattractive/attractive/hot/cold. it is to cover the body soany ohter eyes can not penetrate and blush on body,

word ABaya is here ,somewhere is naqab and Burqa meaning is same to cover body ,which empower women .

in case any male or female is nude and some one knock the door .whoever r u ,from anywhere of world u r, u surely put some clothes on ur body. why ?? what difference it make ???

what difference if not put clothes ???

Similarly covered women can work /walk/play/can go hospital /market with and without husband  public place ,as she is feeling free that she is covered and nobody cares now

if its only culture ,it should by only Qataris,,culture can not be spread in world level, From Afgan to Iraq Biggest part of world means indiapak srilankabangladesh to france.

i do agree that some muslim and non muslim take it as a fashion.

But proper clothes is mandetory for both women and men.non of us working in office @nude.why
