No, patterned hijabs are generally not considered Haram.

According to guidance on hijab, the key is maintaining modesty. As long as the patterned hijab is not used primarily for decoration to attract attention and still adheres to Islamic values of covering the hair and dressing modestly, it is permissible. (25-Mar-2023)

Essentially:

  • Modesty is Key: The primary purpose of the hijab is to maintain modesty.
  • Patterns are Allowed: Patterns and colors are acceptable.
  • Avoid Excessive Decoration: The hijab should not be excessively decorated to attract undue attention.

Therefore, the permissibility of a patterned hijab depends on how it's worn and whether it upholds the principles of modesty.
