The word hijaab is generally used to refer to the head covering worn by Muslim women. In [[Islamic law]], however, it is a much more wide-ranging concept, encompassing an entire dress code for both genders. In orthodox Sunni and Shi'a [[fiqh]] the wearing by women of a head covering which totally conceals the hair is considered mandatory to be in compliance with hijab. This injunction comes from both the example of the wives of the prophet as well as verses in the Qur'an commanding women to wear veils around people who are not their family. | |||
