Hijab

Islamic clothing for women

Hijab (Arabic: ????? ?) is the Arabic term for "barrier". In some Arabic-speaking countries and Western countries, the word hijab primarily refers to a headscarf worn by Muslim women. But in Islamic scholarship, hijab is given the wider meaning of modest dress and demeanour. The word used in the Qu'ran for a headscarf or veil is khimar (Arabic: ????? ?).
