Muslim cleric wants one-eyed veil to control seduction among Saudi Arabian womenLondon, Oct. 6 : A Muslim cleric has demanded that Saudi women should be fully veil (nigab) that reveals only one eye, in order to control seduction.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said that Saudi Arabian women are encouraged to use eye makeup and look seductive when allowed to wear a veil that exposes both eyes.

How much of their face Muslim women expose differs from country to country, and is an area of contention.
