Mainly claimed by people who have chosen it more convenient to not believe in the verses in the Qur'an, the hadiths or the Islamic scholars regarding hijab.
This is a misconception.
But if we pretend for a moment it isn't - or try to excuse ignorant Muslim women for not wearing a hijab because they sincerely believe it isn't required - the claim is still problematic.
How many Muslim women who don't wear a hijab pray five times a day?
How many of them wear modest clothing? I mean really modest, I don't mean putting on an actual shirt that reaches all the way down to the navel or pants that cover the skin of the legs, but leave nothing else to the imagination.
How many of them fast on Ramadan?
How many of them abstain from sex before marriage?
How many of them abstain from non-halal meat, alcohol or cigarettes?
How many of them avoid shirk?
How many of them read the Qur'an every day?
Not all Muslim women who wear a hijab abide by the rules either. But statistically the chances a Muslim who doesn't cover her head abides by the rules are much much lower than with those who do cover their head.
