A niqāb (Arabic: نِقاب) is a veil which covers the face, worn by some Muslim women as a part of sartorial hijāb.Niqab is most common in the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, and the UAE. It is also common in some cities in India and Pakistan (mainly in Bombay /Mumbai , Calcutta /Kolkata, and Karachi).Women who wear the niqāb are often called niqābī; this word is used both as a noun and as an adjective. However, some prefer the participial form munaqqabah (plural munaqqabāt) as "niqābī" may be used in a derogatory manner (much as with "hijābī" versus muhajjabah). Because of the wide variety of hijab worn in the Muslim world, it can be difficult to definitively distinguish between one type of veil and another. The terms niqab and burqa are often used interchangeably.Muslim girls are advised to wear the niqāb starting at puberty. Peace.
