Dear Arewa,

Where is the Hijab?

The Hijab is slowly disappearing in the Community.

It’s difficult to be left unsaid that, in the past it’s very apt to tell a woman or a lady is from the northern part of Nigeria by merely looking at her mode of dressing. It’s descent & modest.

The Hijab can be in other forms such as a big veil which is sufficiently wrapped around her to cover her.

This is how the north dress culturally & Alhamdulillah it agrees with the teaching of Islam.

Eventually the Hijab begin to disappear, starting with kids & unmarried women/ladies. They go out pf their homes without it. Such that once you see a hijab, she’s a married woman.

It’s odd & warned about.

Unfortunately today, both married & unmarried women arE Hijabless outside their homes.

And it’s normal, a father, brother or husband doesn’t feel anything wrong to see his Mum or sister or wife going out semi naked, showing their body curves.
