My friend's daughter is doing an assignment at school about Muslim women. She has sent me an 'interview' to fill out about being a Muslim woman. Since I'm not very typical I was wondering if anyone else might fill one out as well. You could PM me your answers if you don't want to answer here. If you only want to answer some of the questions that's ok

ROLE OF WOMEN WITHIN FAITH
1. How do you see your position as a woman in your faith?
2. Do you believe that your roles as a woman in the Islamic faith to balance both work and family life?
3. Do you see it as your role as a Muslim woman to create an Islamic household?
4. How do you find religious fulfillment as a woman?
COVERINGS
1. Do you believe in the covering of women within your faith? Why/Why not? To what extent?
2. Do you wear any kind of religious related coverings? If so, what do you wear?
3. What is your opinion on the Burqa/Hijab?
a. Should women be pressured into wearing these coverings?
b. In your opinion, do you see the Burqa and Hijab to be a form of suppression of women or as an act of declaring faith/ liberation? Why?
