What is a "hijab"?
A hijab is a headscarf worn by Muslim women that covers their hair and neck, leaving only their face visible. It is a symbol of modesty and religious observance, and is worn by women who choose to follow the Islamic dress code. The style and design of the hijab can vary depending on the region and culture, and it can be made from various fabrics such as silk, cotton, or chiffon. It is often worn with other modest clothing items, such as long-sleeved tops and loose-fitting pants or skirts, as a way to adhere to the Islamic principle of covering one's body in a modest and respectful way.
