‘Hijab’ has a broad meaning within Islam. It refers to the principle of modesty and includes behaviour and dress for both males and females.
Muslim children are taught modesty from a young age. This comes from a place of respect for the opposite sex, and to protect women from the sexual desires of men.

A man should be covered from the navel to the knees, and a woman must cover her top, head, neck and arms. A woman’s dress may differ depending on the laws of the country in which she lives.
One of the most recognisable items of clothing to keep in line with this concept of modesty is the garment called a hijab, which Muslim women wear to cover their heads.
Muslim women are required observe the principle of hijab in front of any man they could theoretically marry. This means that hijab is not obligatory in front of a woman’s father, brothers, grandfathers or uncles. It is also not obligatory in front of young children.
