Are women required to wear a veil outside the home?

Bible: No       Qur'an: Yes

1 Corinthians 11:15 – But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering.

Galatians 5:1 – Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage…

Colossians 2:20 – Why… are ye subject to ordinances…


Nur 24:30-31 – 30. And say to the believing women that they should... 31. draw their veils over their bosoms and display not their ornaments except to their husbands...

Al-Ahzab 33:59 – O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, that so they may be recognized and not annoyed.
