Muslim women

As with other hijabs, the wearing of the veil is a personal choice for Muslim women and should be respected as an expression of their freedom of religion and belief. It is important to respect cultural differences and religious interpretations in this regard.

Hijab is a head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women in the presence of men outside of their immediate family. It is a symbol of modesty and humility in Islam, and many women choose to wear hijab as a sign of their religious devotion. The practice of wearing hijab varies around the world, and can take different forms based on cultural and regional interpretations. In some countries and communities, hijab is mandatory, while in others it is a personal choice.
