Several people do not understand why the buibui is black and its origin. This group include some of those who wear this special attire. This covering has come to be associated with Islam and considered a religious piece of clothing.
This belief has led to complaints whenever a buibui is used by prostitutes or in places considered unholy. However, these two facts about it remain a secret to several people:
Origin
The buibui is a traditional attire from Arab tribes. This then makes us ask why we have put excess religious meaning on this piece of cloth. As the Arabs came to Africa to spread their religion, Africans adopted everything they saw on Arabs including the clothing. However, Islam and the Arab tradition required that women put on a clothing that resemble a clothing.
The black colour
Many people ask why the Muslims chose ‘darkness’ as its official color for their women. This has also attracted criticism from critics of Islam.
However, the main reason why it is black was to suit the religious demands on women as far as coverings are concerned. The color was chosen so that it does not ‘lead men into temptations’. It is also required that the dress is loose not to expose the female curvature.
