Niqab face veils for women

A niqab is a face veil, distinct from a headscarf or a khimar draped over the upper body. Designs differ in eye opening, panel construction and fastening. Religious interpretations of wearing it vary; this guide describes the garment without presenting it as a duty accepted by all Muslim women.

Practical checks: niqab face veils for women

Consider visibility, comfort and how readily it can be removed when required. Check the rules of the place where it would be worn separately: France generally prohibits face concealment in public spaces, subject to specified exceptions. Official information takes precedence over a seller's claims about whether a product may be worn somewhere.
