Hijab or in the right pronunciation is hee-jab is commonly understood as a type of head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women. But in general it can also refer to modest Muslim styles of dress. Similar to head coverings (Hijab) are wimples (or wimpels) worn by Christian nuns and snoods often worn by married Orthodox Jewish women. The Arabic word literally means curtain or cover, meaning to cover, to veil, to shelter. Most Islamic legal systems define this type of modest dressing as covering everything except the face and hands in public.
