Would you not agree that part of being a good Muslim is to exercise honesty? Hiding your special religious needs is definitely <em>not</em> being honest, particularly if it interferes with work schedules and your contact with certain co-workers. There are some jobs where an employer would find a weekly 2 hour break for Juma (which would certainly extend more than 2 hours) to be disruptive to the work environment, depending on the job, and where refusal to shake hands with potential clients because they are women would be considered harmful to business. To hide this fact and then potentially sue your employer for religious discrimination is reprehensible and will do nothing but give a bad image to Islam. If you are feeling this strong about your beliefs then you should stay within a Muslim environment where your needs to not impinge on the majority of others.

I'm in finance (corporate enough i guess :)) and i wear a hijab. Avoid: 1) Flashy colors 2) Scarves that wrinkle...use chiffon or georgette or a similar crease-proof material. 3) PIN IT UP. Nothing looks worse than a sister talking to you while tugging her scarf back. It should be secured in a way that you don't have to mess with it the whole day. Personally, i find wearing a head band under the hijab prevents it from slipping OR your hair from coming out at the sides. 4) I personally find Jilbabs the easiest to handle because they look smart and are basically fuss-free.You can use an ankle skirt or loose straight cut pants if you're very slim because then it doesn't reveal very much. If you're like me, you can opt for the jilbab! Hermana has given some good tips for sisters. I’m in finance (corporate enough i guess :)) and i wear a hijab. Avoid:

I think in <em>all</em> opinions, a person needs to have wudhu before putting on the socks; so many people ignore that, and I don't think it's based on any scholarly opinion. Also, if you take your socks off, you can't put them back on and do masah on them after; the socks need to remain on from the time you make wudhu. And Allah knows best.
