Original Note:
Historically, the niqab was largely exclusive to women in Najd, a region in present-day Saudi Arabia, as well as in some Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. No historical evidence exists linking the niqab to Jewish traditions among Yemeni Jews. https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/beliefs/niqab_1.shtml https://www.britannica.com/topic/niqab https://ottawasun.com/2015/09/26/the-history-of-the-niqab https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/culture/veiled-in-history-how-women-have-been-covered-up/46373584 https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/babylon-beyond/story/2010-05-08/yemen-a-young-woman-explains-why-she-wears-the-i-niqab-i-the-all-covering-veil
