Best Answer

The headscarf is that head dressing that covers head, face, and neck but not covering face and hands. It is an Islamic religion requirement for Muslim women to dress.

The veil is the woman dressing that covers also face and hands. This is not a religion requirement although the religion is not against it. The veil is based on the traditions and cultures of some countries.
