ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hajib

A hijab is a special piece of clothing that some people wear on their head. Think of it like a special hat for your head, but it covers your hair and sometimes your neck and shoulders too. Some people wear it because they believe it is important in their religion, while others wear it for cultural or personal reasons. It is important to respect anyone's decision to wear a hijab, just like we should respect anyone's decision to wear any type of clothing.
