For many years, an important question has been raised among brothers and sisters: When is head covering for a sister necessary in the light of the Scriptures, and in which cases is it not required?

Therefore, with God's help and through prayer, it is necessary for us to gain a clear understanding of the issue of head covering holding to the inspired tradition of the apostles and rejecting all human traditions, myths, and fabrications. We also need to examine what the Holy Scriptures say on this subject, as well as the theocratic literature based on God’s Word, which helps us to understand the Bible and, most importantly, unites Jehovah God's people worldwide in a unified understanding.
