A Muslimah might be in perfect hijab with the oval of her face showing but a man (Muslim or not) with bad intention is still going to stare / lust at her face so that would imply hijab (without niqab) isn't sufficient? Or she should not be free mixing anyway... But she is allowed to go to the market and interact with the shop keeper? So it could be argued even in hijab the whole body is covered but the most interesting part (the face) is not so would this not infer niqab is mandatory?

What's the % of Muslimahs who wear hijab that veil also? Not much?

Assalaamualaikum My dearest sister,
as the brothers may have previously stated the hukm/ruling of niqaab (though it may be argued there is differences or what not), honestly , no hukm of the most wise is without over flowing hikmah (wisdom) even though at times it may not be apparent to our very limited understanding. the ruling is a different thing which will inshaAllaah hold great rewards if done correctly (intention etc) But the beauty of it is subhaanAllaah indeed another thing. theres more than one beauty, the beauty of first obeying our Creator , most high. and the 2nd one can only be felt by a sister veiling herself willingly. ( i say this because perhaps there are some who don't do it as such hence don't experience its sweetness)
its a means of great protection for the sisters themselves and others. the feeling u feel/get when ur covered, u feel secure! u feel valuable/honoured ( shd be with no degree of takabbur obv). u feel ur Creator cares to this extent abt u n ur protection. laa ilaaha illAllaah!
sorry may have went a bit off track, but just shared few thoughts from experience!
May Allaah guide us to the acts of His pleasure, aameen!
