Distinguishing between the niqab, the burqu', and the khimar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The woman's niqab hangs down completely from the head to the bottom of the neck. Is this called a niqab?

Answer:
The niqab is what covers the face, with only the two eyes showing. What covers the face and shows only the eyes is called a niqab and a burqu'. As for what covers the face entirely, that is called a khimar. Yes.
