Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Strange and alluring abayas have appeared in the markets. Is there any advice for the Muslim sisters and for those sellers, may Allah reward them?
Answer:
The abaya was not made for adornment, but rather for covering. It should be dark and loose, with no adornment in it, and worn over the clothes from the head to the feet. This abaya, the large jilbab, and the sheet are worn over the clothes to cover the entire body. However, if it is adopted for adornment, it departs from its function and its intended purpose, and it is not permissible for a woman to wear it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
