Some women in Afghanistan feel that the best way to dress modestly is to wear a burqa, which covers everything.
Burqa is not know today in Romania.
The word Burqa is also spelled burkha, or burka
The women must wear the burqa because of the strict regulations set by the Taliban. They changed Afghanistan to a very strict Muslim country, and in conservative Islam, women are seen as temptations and must cover their "adornments," such as their hair, wrists, ankles, etc.
The burqa originated in the Middle East and Central Asia, primarily associated with Islamic cultures. It is believed to have been adopted in various forms as a way to promote modesty and privacy for women in accordance with certain interpretations of Islamic teachings. The garment became particularly prominent in Afghanistan, where it has been traditionally worn by women, especially during the Taliban's rule. Over time, the burqa has also gained attention and discussion in the context of women's rights and cultural identity.
Ras Burqa massacre happened on 1985-10-05.
That is a correct spelling of "burqa" (also burhka, a covering garment for Islamic women).
The plural of burqa is burqas. As in "France has banned burqas being worn in schools".
Answer 1Wearing Burka (that is covering face) is not an Islamic requirement for women dressing and clothing. It is mainly due to historical local clothing traditions and practices that is not denied or required by Islam rules. Islam required for Muslim women clothing is to wear cloth that covers the whole body; including head, hair, and neck but not necessarily covering face and palm hands. That clothing should not be tight and figuring sexy parts and should not be transparent to show what is underneath.Answer 2Since the burqa is a garment that has more to do with local customs than Islam, there are a number of places, such as Afghanistan where burqa-wearing preceded the arrival of the Muslims by a few centuries. In other places, the burqa is only now gaining acceptance as a form of headcovering. However, among Muslim women, there was never a time-period when the burqa was the dominant headcovering among pious Muslim women.
There is a lot of confusion about this! A lot of journalists are not doing a proper research and use the word Burqa for Chadors, Chimars - hijabs. A Burqa is a "dress" which covers the whole face and body. Burqa is used mainly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Blue is the most common colour. The Burqa with its grid in the front is easy to recognize.Chador is not covering the whole face. Mainly used in Iran (Chador is Persian - originating in sanskrit for garment or cloak). A chador is a full-length semi-circle of fabric open down the front, which is thrown over the head and held closed in front.L
