The Qur’an instructs Muslim women and men to dress modestly, and for some, the hijab is worn by Muslim girls and women to maintain modesty and privacy from unrelated males.
According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World, modesty concerns both men’s and women’s “gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia”.
