The research results of the discussion of the veil in the contemporary era, namely Islamic law guarantees individual rights to embrace and practice religious teachings, including wearing the veil for Muslim women without discrimination. The veil is a symbol of obedience and Muslim identity. However, it is often associated with discrimination and negative stigma. Veiled women must obey religious rules, maintain good manners, ethics in dressing according to sharia, and respect norms and culture, thus creating relevance between the wisdom and identity of Muslim women in the modern era.
