    Tldr: Quran is interpreted with historic context. You can't apply defensive war verse to offensive war or daily life.

    Verses of quran were (according to Islam) told by God to prophet over his life-time on what to do in different events.

    For example Quraysh tribe just declared war on muslims? This verse comes out. They agreed a peace deal? Another verse. They continued raiding anyway despite the peace? A new verse, etc.

    Historians will publish research on which verse maps to what event and then Imams will use that to chose what to preach and when.

    “We got declared war? Do this. We have ceasefire? Do that. They are not followng the ceasefire? Now do these.”

    I will add that other groups, like trans women from middle eastern backgrounds for example, do also wear head covering to feel more feminine and in line with their real gender too.

    I myself still wear black covid masks because it hides the 5-o’clock shadow and feels more feminine. This would be illegal in Austria under “Prohibition on the Covering of the Face” (originally targeting niqabs)

    Overall governments placing rules on what people can and can’t wear is a red flag. The only exception I understand is nazi tattoos.
