I... Don't know what a hijap is... Or do you mean a Hijab? Hijabs are quite prevalent in Mawtini's society, but are not required by law.

We have no rules banning hijabs. Mind you, this is an issue that has never come up.
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Not really, it's one of the major religions but the denomination here is a unique local version with different practices from the regular Human denominations. Atheism and Agnosticism are more dominant in Saurisia.

Totally legal, although many military Witches choose not to wear them, as the wind during flight would blow them away.

Towing the French line once again, Hijabs and other face veils are banned in Valcluse due to laws which forbid the wearing of any large religious symbols.

In Rejaina it's well respected and even though it's not required by law, many non Muslims wear them.

TurtleShroomer law requires catgirls/nekomimis to wear "veils" (pretty much the same as Hijabs) to cover their "deformities" (that is, their cat ears), and to conceal their tails. These are comnpulsary and mandated at all times, for both genders when it comes to nekos.
(Alternately, they can opt to have a "felectomy" and have these parts removed. Many health insurers cover it.)

All other creatures may wear it if they wish. This is an issue that has never come up in TurtleShroom, primarily because Islam does not exist in any meaningful numbers here.

Our stance is that any kind of head covering is quite silly. We're mostly nudists, and of our Islamic minority, the vast majority of females choose not to wear any Islamic attire.
