Definición

  • The burka (also transliterated as burqa or burkha) is a particular form of Islamic clothing worn by some Muslim women, usually consisting of a long piece of fabric attached to a cap or draped over the head and loosely cascading down to cover the entire body, allowing only for slits or a screened portion of the fabric for the eyes. This form of dress may also be made up of multiple fabrics, such as one covering the head (hijab), a veil for the face, and a loose coat covering the rest of the body.
