A burqa, also transliterated burkha, burka or burqua from Arabic: برقع‎ burquʻ or burqaʻ ) is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover their bodies in public places. The burqa is usually understood to be the woman's loose body-covering (Arabic: jilbāb), plus the head-covering (Arabic: ḥijāb), plus the face-veil (Arabic: niqāb).
