A "hijab" or "ḥijāb" (/hɪˈdʒɑːb/, /hɪˈdʒæb/, /ˈhɪ.dʒæb/ or /hɛˈdʒɑːb/; Arabic: حجاب‎, ~ ) is a veil which covers the hair and neck. It is worn by Muslim women particularly in the presence of non-related adult males.

According to Islamic scholarship, hijab is given the wider meaning of modesty, privacy, and morality. The Qur'an mentions the use of covering and veiling with the words khimār (خمار) and jilbāb (جلباب), not hijab. Still another definition is metaphysical, where al-hijab refers to "the veil which separates man or the world from God."
