The questioner:
Is what she said correct?
The Shaykh:
It does not appear to me that this is imitating men, because the abaya is a woman's abaya. Imitating men would be if she wore what men wear, such as the bisht or what is specific to men; that is the imitation. But if she wears what women wear, that is not imitation. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.
The Shaykh:
A listener from Jeddah, whose name is spelled Alif, Alif, 'Ayn, says: I was pregnant in the seventh month. Ramadan came, and I was unable to fast it. After it passed, I paid out a sum of money. Do I have to make up the fast, or is what I paid sufficient? Knowing that I have not fasted it yet, and another Ramadan has passed since then, and praise be to Allah, I have fasted it.
