They all mean veil. Afghanis call it Burka and Arab call it 'burqac' or niqab or khimar. Each place has a style but the meaning is the same.surrender wrote:Mad May wrote:Burqa has meshing around the eyes and is essentially one item, niqaab is a separate maro.
thats what i thought. burka is what Afghanis wear, i never heard of Burka untill the invasion of Afghanistan, is the blue one with net like veil.
but the veil its self is different, is not part of the jilbab, they not joined, but rather seperate material.
