The Woman's Attire in Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The asking sister says: Shaykh, does a woman have a specific garment for 'Umrah or Hajj, and is it specified as white?

Answer:
No, the woman wears her regular clothing in ihram, provided it is covering, contains no adornment, and is loose-fitting on the body. However, she must avoid only two things that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, which are the burqu' (face veil) or niqab (face veil) and the gloves on the hands. She avoids these two things: the burqu' and the gloves on the hands. As for everything else, she may wear whatever she wishes, as long as it contains no adornment, does not deviate from the custom of women, and does not draw attention. Yes.
