The Ruling on Wearing the Decorated Abaya and the Conditions of the Hijab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a woman performing 'Umrah who wears a decorated abaya and drapes it over her shoulder? And what are the conditions of the Shari'ah-prescribed hijab?
Answer:
A woman does not wear a decorated or adorned abaya, neither in ihram nor otherwise, because it is a form of tabarruj (display of adornment). She should wear an abaya that has no decoration, because the purpose of the abaya is not to adorn oneself, but to cover the body and conceal it from the top of the head to the feet when she goes out. She does not drape it over her shoulders; she places it over her head to cover her entire body, and it must not contain any decorations or adornments.
