    For me, covering is a private sign between me and God. Completely voluntary, as the Bible does not prescribe the wearing of specific clothing - even if some believe it prescribes that women wear a head covering for prayer, it does not specify the exact type of covering. Some believe it prescribes no jewelry or braided hairstyles, some believe that these things are permissible as long as they do not distract from the important thing - the character of the person, which is to be their ornament.

    I personally prefer not to spend time alone with men, simply because I do not feel the need to do so. Even the Bible does not say I may not do so.

    What the Bible does say is that for the pure, all things are pure, and for the impure, even that which is pure is impure. To me, that means that hijab may prevent people from manifesting sin, but it is not going to give anyone a pure heart. It also means that if one is alone with an MOS, the third party present is not the devil, but God - before whom we are accountable. And the person with taqwa will be aware of this at all times, and will not fall.

    Testing God and His grace, however, is not permitted. We do not spend time with MOSs 'just to prove we can do it', any more than we jump off cliffs hoping to see proof of miraculous power that God may or may not choose to manifest at that time. No doubt some would say that wearing hijab falls in the category of avoiding that kind of testing.
