Niqab or veil is now also familiar. Niqab itself is a cloth that covers the face except the eyes and some even cover the eyes using a rather thin cloth.
Niqab has actually existed since the time of the Prophet as reported in many hadith narrations, one of them from Asma 'bint Abu Bakr, he said "We used to cover our faces from the sight of men during berihram and before covering our faces we comb our hair.

Nowadays the veil is no stranger. If the first veil users mostly from Arabia and the Middle East, now in various parts of the world has been increasingly many veiled women.
