What is jilbab?

Jilbab is a type of Islamic modest clothing that is worn by some Muslim women. It is a loose-fitting garment that covers the entire body, except for the hands and face. Jilbab is often paired with a headscarf or hijab to cover the hair. It is meant to fulfill the Islamic requirement for women to dress modestly and cover their bodies in public.

Jilbab comes in various styles and designs, ranging from simple and plain to more elaborate and decorative. It is commonly made from lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton, chiffon, or polyester.

While jilbab is popular in many Muslim-majority countries, it is also worn by Muslim women in Western countries as a form of religious expression. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards modern and fashionable jilbab styles that cater to diverse tastes and preferences.
