The Niqab is a veil that covers the face, in addition to the headscarf. Muslim women who choose to cover their faces interpret the verses of the Quran prescribing modesty in dress for women to include the face veil. The Niqab is worn in various parts of the Muslim world today, and has been in the past, based on scholarly interpretation of verses of the Quran and Hadith. However, the vast majority of scholars do not believe it is a required part of dress for women.
