Hijab is for covering the hair . Of course wearing Hijab means covering the whole body except for the face and hands . Muslim women wear it in the presence of men . Not just any men . They don't wear it when (father, brother, grandfather, uncles, nephews, husband ) they wear in the presence of what we call foreign men . Which are simply men she can marry ! Women don't have to wear it in front of other women. I hope that was helpful
