How long have Muslim women worn the burqa?
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.

How do you spell burqa?
That is a correct spelling of "burqa" (also burhka, a covering garment for Islamic women).
Who was the inventor of the burqa?
Contrary to popular belief, the burqa is instituted in the Islamic ahadith, quotes from and stories about the Prophet Muhammad, his wives, and his companions. We know from these stories that the Prophet's wives and many of the early Muslim women covered their bodies, including their faces, in this way, and Muslim women strive to imitate them, as they were the most excellent in character. Furthermore, these stories tell us that certain Qur'anic verses were interpreted by these women as instruction to cover the face, not just the body. The practice however, dates from thousands of years earlier, to Jewish marriage practices. It is also the origin of the western wedding veil today. Muslim women wear the burqa by choice, not by force, and find many benefits in doing so. The burqa provides the women with modesty, identity, and liberation. Those who wear the burqa place a high value on women's beauty, and believe it is not for anyone in the street to look upon, but rather to be preserved for those she is close to and loves. This modesty in turn protects the woman from sexual harassment and abuse. The burqa also identifies the woman as a Muslim, and one devout in her religion, an honorable and respectable woman. Women also find the burqa highly liberating, as it turns the focus from their outer appearance, to their inner self. Rather than being judged by for their sex appeal or sense of fashion, those who meet them can only judge them based on their intellect and character. It makes a clear statement that the woman's body is irrelevant, while her heart and mind are the true person.
What is a Burqas?
'Burqa' (plural "burqas") can refer to several different kinds of garments. Mainly, it is used to refer to the covering up of the entire body (including the eyes), as practiced by many Muslim women (e.g.: "she wears the burqa"). This can involve one single garment, such as the flowing silk garments (usually blue) traditionally worn by some Afghani and Pakistani women. Or it can refer to a whole outfit, such as that worn by many Saudi women (usually black). The term originally referred to a unique face mask, covering the mouth, which was traditional in the Gulf countries. Contrary to popular belief, the burqa is instituted in the Islamic ahadith, quotes from and stories about the Prophet Muhammad, his wives, and his companions. We know from these stories that the Prophet's wives and many of the early Muslim women covered their bodies, including their faces, in this way, and Muslim women strive to imitate them, as they were the most excellent in character. Furthermore, these stories tell us that certain Qur'anic verses were interpreted by these women as instruction to cover the face, not just the body. The practice however, dates from thousands of years earlier, to Jewish marriage practices. It is also the origin of the western wedding veil today. Muslim women wear the burqa by choice, not by force, and find many benefits in doing so. Unlike the answer that was here before, the burqa is not for "hiding bruises inflicted by husband's beatings", but rather provides the women with modesty, identity, and liberation. Those who wear the burqa place a high value on women's beauty, and believe it is not for anyone in the street to look upon, but rather to be preserved for those she is close to and loves. This modesty in turn protects the woman from sexual harassment and abuse. The burqa also identifies the woman as a Muslim, and one devout in her religion, an honorable and respectable woman. Women also find the burqa highly liberating, as it turns the focus from their outer appearance, to their inner self.
