Different but same happened in Iran with an official minister-level delegation from Sweden. The women all had a scarf, very loosly wrapped. They got a lot of BS especially because Sweden is very strong on equal rights. They said that wearing a scarf is nothing compared to the million$-contracts they managed to get signed and the discussions on top-level about women's rights.
Le Pen certainly knew before going that she would be asked to wear a scarf, but as she is far right and presidential elections are coming up in France this was just a show about sending a signal home. The mufti was a fool trying to meet her and not seeing that he was used in a political game. Or even worse he knew and they both agreed on the show so that both of them will be considered strong leaders who will impose their way of life. She for not wearing a scarf because of religious rules (islamic rules) and he for not bending the rukes to meet a female french islamophob politician. Both win, free world loses.
