Great AMA. This will really clear up a lot of stuff for people living in the west.
I grew up in Jeddah till I was 10 and then moved to Canada. One thing that I never figured out but was always curious about...
Since you are in a very heavy Muslim culture, this requires all women that are not in direct blood relation (I.E sisters, mom, grandmother etc) to wear a headcover or a Hijab when they are near males. Therefore my question is, when at a family event of some sort where one of your Step Half-sisters (sister from any of your father's wives) is she required to wear a head cover around you? If yes, is this religious? or cultural?
