Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Fatimah Abu Ali, says: What is the correct, lawful hijab? And is a woman held accountable for not wearing this hijab? We ask your honor to provide the comprehensive advice for women.
Answer:
The hijab for a woman is what covers her body from men who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry) with complete coverage, such that it contains no adornment that attracts attention, is not tight in a way that reveals the parts of the body, and is not transparent so that it does not conceal what is behind it. This is the lawful hijab that Allah the Exalted commanded and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. This includes covering the entire body of the woman in the presence of men who are not her mahram, including the face, the palms, and the rest of the body. Yes?
