Wearing the 'Abaya for the Ma'mum in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it prescribed for the ma'mum to wear the 'abaya or the bish in prayer, or is it specific to the imam? And did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do that?
Answer:
The bish did not appear in the time of the Messenger; rather, what appeared were the 'abayas made of wool, and the izar, the rida, and the shumla. There is no harm in them; there is no harm in these garments. Their origin is that these garments are for the imam and for those behind him, and they are a form of adornment. They are a form of adornment. Yes.
