Advice to those who are lax in wearing decorated and alluring abayas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, this questioner says that strange and alluring abayas have appeared in the markets. Is there any advice for Muslim sisters to avoid these abayas?
Answer:
When the hypocrites and disbelievers saw that Muslim women were wearing the abaya, they wanted to corrupt it and divert it from its intended purpose. The abaya is intended for covering; it is the covering a woman wears over her clothes, from her head to her feet. She wraps herself in it to hide her adornment. This is the purpose of the abaya, or the large jilbab known as the malla. This is part of the practice of Muslims and of the obligatory covering for women. When the enemies saw that the abaya was part of Islamic dress, they wanted to corrupt it by making it thin, embroidered, and tight, among the other innovations they introduced into it. This is not an abaya; it is a burden. It is not an abaya. She should fear Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and wear a covering abaya that has no adornment, no embroidery, and nothing that draws attention, but only the covering that conceals the woman.
