It is that dress covering all of a woman's body in a way that prevents non-mahrams from seeing anything of her body or the adornment with which she adorns. There is no doubt among Muslim scholars that the hijab is obligatory for every adult woman.

Mahram
A woman’s mahram is a person whom she is never permitted to marry because of their close blood relationship (such as her father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., and her son, grandson, great-grandson, etc., her paternal and maternal uncles, her brother, brother’s son and sister’s son), or because of breastfeeding (such as the brother and husband of the woman who breastfed her), or because they are related by marriage (such as the mother’s husband, the husband’s father, grandfather, etc., and the husband’s son, grandson, etc.)

Why
Islam has imposed the Hijap for several reasons, as the 59th verse of Surat Al-Ahzab mentions the purpose of the hijab, which is:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَـٰبِيبِهِنَّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا
[Al-Ahzab-59]
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

And in God’s saying: “That is purer for your hearts and their hearts” there is an indication that there is a link between what the eye sees and what the heart relates to, for the eye is the path of desire and looking is the conductor of desires, and if the eye does not see the heart, the heart does not desire.
"Hijab makes me feel strong and empowered. No one has access to my body. I’m in control!"
