Muslim women who wear veils (face-veiled women) shows that seem ambiguous; they tend to attract and limit themselves personally in the factual world, otherwise expose socially in the virtual world. This article will examine how face-veiled women interpret the meaning of the veil who are active on social media by seeing it as a dual functional interpretation; between perfecting religion (religious reasons) and fulfillment of modernity (personal reasons).
