1. hijab

   A hijab is a type of head covering traditionally worn by some Muslim women in public in the presence of men outside their immediate family as a sign of modesty, privacy, and morality. It usually includes covering the hair, neck, and sometimes the shoulders, while the face remains visible. It is also used more broadly to refer to the principle of modest dress in the Muslim culture. The term can also refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women that conforms to Islamic standards of modesty. The specific rules and levels of coverage vary by cultural context, geographical location, and individual interpretation.

1. Hijab

   "Hijab" or "ḥijāb" is a veil which covers the head which is particularly worn by a Muslim female beyond the age of puberty in the presence of non-mahram adult males. It can further refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women or men that conforms to a certain standard of modesty. It not only refers to the physical body covering, but also embodies a metaphysical dimension, where al-hijab refers to "the veil which separates man or the world from God”. Hijab can also be used to refer to the seclusion of women from men in the public sphere. Most often, it is worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty, privacy, and morality. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World, modesty in the Qur'an concerns both men's and women's gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia." Although the Qur'an stresses modesty, it does not specifically require women to keep their heads or faces covered. In fact, the Qur'an never explicitly uses the term hijab in reference to body veiling in any context, instead utilizing the words khimār and jilbāb, not hijab. Hijab or Hejab refers to The Rules of covering up. It never references the specific item or items of clothing used to cover up.
