The ruling on wearing the abaya with wide sleeves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on a woman wearing an abaya with wide sleeves?
Answer:
This is not an abaya. The known abaya has no sleeves. The point of the abaya is that it covers over the clothes; it covers the woman over her garments, like the large jilbab. The abaya is not to be an abaya of adornment or embroidery, because the abaya is not taken for adornment; it is taken for covering over the clothes. It is to be wide. The one with sleeves is not wide. There is no difference between it and a garment. Yes.
