Hi all,
(just my 2 cents) Either way, if she wants a driver's license, she needs a
photo. For her protection as much as anyone's -- anybody could thow on a
veil & pass for her & use her driver's license to cash checks,
steal stuff, minors buying booze, or whateve
th the DMV on this one. Lezlie

>Thing is:  Whether the veil is required or not depends on which 
>flavor of Muslim you ask.  Some don't feel it's required, some most 
>certainly DO, and they can cite scriptural and theological references 
>out the wazoo to prove the others are wrong.  Mileages vary.

>There's also a feeling among some of the stricter sects that allowing

>an image of a human violates one of the Commandments.  Or something 
>like that.  I'm not a scholar on  the subject.  Again, Mileages Vary.
