The Quiz: What is the Islamic headwear that covers the hair but not the face called?
Niqab
Burka
Hijab
Keffiyeh
There are many different headscarves and face coverings worn by Muslim women, depending on where they live and what branch of Islam they practice. In the Western world, the most common Muslim headscarf is the hijab, which covers the hair and neck but leaves the face exposed. On the other side of the coverage spectrum is the burka, which shrouds a person’s entire body, leaving only a mesh screen to see through. Traditionally, these coverings originate from religious interpretations of statements in the Quran.
The correct answer to this quiz is Hijab.
