Niqabvignette|Yéménite portant le niqab.Le niqab (نقاب niqāb ) est un voile intégral couvrant le visage à l'exception des yeux. Celui-ci est porté par certaines femmes musulmanes et a pour fonction, dans certaines traditions islamiques, de préserver leur pudeur devant les hommes qui leur sont étrangers. Tertullien, né 5 siècles avant Mahomet et l'apparition de l'islam, natif de Tunisie et qui n'est jamais allé en Arabie, écrivait au sujet du voile des vierges : Selon Muhammad Hamidullah, il semblerait que les femmes non-mariées d'Arabie se voilaient dans la période préislamique.

A headscarf is formed of a triangular cloth or a square cloth folded into a triangle, with which the head is covered. Headscarves may be worn for a variety of purposes, such as protection of the head or hair from rain, wind, dirt, cold, warmth, for sanitation, for fashion, recognition or social distinction; with religious significance, to hide baldness, out of modesty, or other forms of social convention.
