Re: veil?is it binding in Islam?

There are NO versions of Islam. We follow Islam as it was revealed by Allah in the Qur'an, explained by the Prophet Muhammad pbuh, and as it was understood by the companions. This is what Islam is.

Yes, the hijab is obligatory as demonstrated in the Qur'an and Sunnah. See verses 24:31 and 33:59.
