When light hits any kind of matter, the light can be reflected or absorbed, or the light can pass right through. Very few kinds of matter are entirely transparent, so light is generally either reflected or absorbed.
Light will be reflected from almost ANY matter that is not absolutely flat "matte" black. Even a 2% or 3% reflectivity or "albedo" will make the object visible, and the surface of the Moon is about 12% reflective. Because so much sunlight hits the Moon, even a 12% reflectivity makes the Moon "shine" quite brightly.
