Updated AnswerIf it is meant by veils the clothing covering face that is called Burkas or Burkhahs, then it should be known that these Burkas are neither commanded nor rejected by religion. It is a matter of local cultures, practices, and tradition.However, if it is meant by veils the clothing covering head and hair (but not face) that is called Hijab, then most likely currently only Muslim women wear Hijab (which is complusry by religion).
