Nothing major but today I witnessed the most bizarre thing ever. Every morning, I catch 3 buses before I get to school. Blah, forget that. On the last bus, there normally is a sister who is on it (if I'm on time). She's covered in head to toe, niqaab, jilbab everything.
Now out of respect, I sit in front of her on the bus and not behind her. (Would you say that's respect of me being stupid?) There is only us two muslims (80% of the time) on the bus to school.
Today, someones phone went off. It rang, and rang, and rang, and no one answered. I daren't turn around to see what's going on because of this sister. As soon as we get off, this sister walks off in the other direction and answers her phone.
I was taken aback by this and yet cannot understand as to why she did such a thing. Anyone have any idea? I can only think of her not wanting to speak out loud so that everyone (I) can then hear her voice.
Sister, we are not saying there is anything wrong with what she did. How you got that impression I do not know. I just wanted to know whether this is supposed to be done by the sisters and if it has any backing from the words of the prophet or not. I'm pleased to know you also do that. Out of piety and modesty I hope.

dnt know the exact words though
mayb som1 else might b able on help on that
just a bit on womens voice..
Question: I want to know if a woman’s voice is from her `awrah (something that she must conceal from men)?
Answered by Sheikh Muhammad b. Sâlih al-`Uthaymîn
The woman’s voice is not something to be ashamed of or something that she must conceal from strange men.
The proof for this is that Allah says to the Mothers of the Believers (the Prophet’s wives): “Be not too complaisant of speech, lest on in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire.” [Sûrah al-Ahzâb: 33]
In this verse Allah says: “Be not too complaisant of speech.” He does not command them not to speak.
Also, in the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him), there are many cases where women came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to ask him about their religious concerns in the presence of other men, but he never stopped them, even after the verse legislating hijâb was revealed.
However, women should not talk to men unnecessarily.
