Updated AnswerThe Bhurkha is not a requirement by religion. It comes out from some local cultures and traditions. However, it is not rejected in Islam. What is required by religion is to wear cloth that covers the whole body, including hair, except the face and the hands. That cloth:
  • should not be so tight to describe the woman body or sexy parts, and
  • should not be so transparent to make the under cloth visible.
The part of the cloth covering the head (and hair) but not the face is called Hijab.

Answer
They wear bhurkhas to be modest. It is believed that the wives of Prophet Muhammad wore the bhurkha, and many women take these women as their role models.

Islamically, most Muslims believe the bhurkha is "Sunnah", or recommended, but not required. Some believe it is required ("fard"), and a very small percentage believe it is forbidden ("haraam").
