What is the criterion for the Islamic hijab for women, and what is the ruling on wearing the burqa?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, A.M. from Yemen, asks: What is the Islamic hijab for women? Is wearing the burqa forbidden? Given that it does not reveal anything of the eyebrows or the nose? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The Islamic hijab for a woman is what covers her entire body from men. This is the Islamic hijab that covers her whole body from men. It must not be tight, transparent, or short, nor should it contain adornment when going out, nor should it involve imitating disbelieving women or men. This is the hijab of the Muslim woman. As for wearing the burqa, if it is the custom of the women of the country or the women of the desert to wear the burqa, on the condition that only the eyes are visible from it, then it is permissible. This is because it is the practice of the women of the society in which she lives. Yes.
However, if she lives in a society where women cover their faces completely and do not use the hijab, and they do not use the burqa or the niqab, then she does not contradict the practice of the women of the country. And this is more complete, without doubt; not using the burqa is more complete in terms of hijab and more concealing for the face. Yes.
