Nowhere in Islamic law is the complete hiding of the face and body required. there are in fact very few specific recommendations either in the Qu’ran or any other Islamic scriptures about how a woman should dress.
The burka and the niqab have nothing to do with Islam, they are simply local cultural customs that have achieved the status of religious practice for those who choose to use the as such today.
The origin had to do with the fact mohammed and his hoard were raping woman....
“The origin had to do with the fact mohammed and his hoard were raping woman...”
