Niqab
Is
a veil which covers the face, worn by some Muslim women as a part of
sartorial hijab.
It is popular in the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf but it can
also be found in North Africa, Southeast Asia, the United States,
the Indian subcontinent and all over Europe, particularly the United
Kingdom. Women who wear the niqab are often called niqabi; this word
is used both as a noun and as an adjective.
The niqab may be made of
two, three or four layers, the bottom layer on face is usually made
of cotton breathable fabric, one of the layer known as "eye screen"
is made of a net or tulle fabric and other layers are made of
Chiffon. The niqab could be fastened on back of head by snaps,
Velcro or tie back, the best from usage point of view is the tie
back. Usually the niqab is Black in color but now it is
available in other colors usually dark colors as Navy Blue and Brown
to match the clothing women is wearing.
