Hijab

In modern usage, hijab generally refers to various head coverings conventionally worn by many Muslim women. While a hijab can come in many forms, it often specifically refers to a headscarf, wrapped around the head, covering the hair, neck and ears, but leaving the face visible. Many Muslims believe that Muslim women are required to observe the hijab in front of any man they could theoretically marry.This means that hijab is not obligatory in front of the father, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children or regarded as Mahram's.
