Indonesia’s rich culture manifests itself in many aspects of its heritage, such as traditional attire with its own unique and distinguished designs.
The requirement of hijab is a Qur’anic command. The basic requirement is that a Muslim woman should cover her head and bosom with a khimar (a head covering), and her body with a jilbaab (a loose over-garment). Of course, she can leave her face and hands open. Hijab is religious obligation for muslimah all over the world and it is not a cultural thing, however when it comes to the style, colour, and material of the khimar and jilbab, each Muslim ethnic group can follow the Qur’anic injunction according to their own cultural background.
