Description: EGYPT: Fellahine & Her Children: This masked woman and her children pose for this picture. A niqab or niqāb (/nɪˈkɑːb/; Arabic: نِقاب niqāb , "veil" also called a ruband) is a cloth that covers the face as a part of sartorial hijab. It is worn by some Muslim women in public areas and in front of non-mahram men, especially in the Hanbali Muslim faith tradition. The niqab is worn in the Arab countries of the Arabian Peninsula such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The niqab in Egypt has a complex and long history. On 8 October 2009, Egypt's top Islamic school and the world's leading school of Sunni Islam, Al-Azhar, banned the wearing of the niqab in classrooms and dormitories of all its affiliate schools and educational institutes. This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good conditoin, but there is some edge wear. Comptoir Philatelique d'Egypte, Alexandria. No. 323.
