Muhammad was more specific when Asma, daughter of one of his leading companions (and first successor) Abu Bakr, came to see him while "wearing thin clothes." "O Asma," exclaimed the Prophet, "when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this, and he pointed to her face and hands."[7]

A graphic example of the oppression that Islamic dress regulations for women engender came in March 2002 in Mecca, when fifteen girls were killed in a fire at their school. Saudi Arabia's religious police, the muttawa, wouldn't let the girls out of the building. Since only women were in the school, the girls had shed their all-concealing outer garments. The muttawa preferred the girls' death to transgression of Islamic law — to the extent that they actually battled police and firemen who were trying to open he school's doors.[8]
