What is the ruling on wearing the abaya on the shoulder

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, regarding this question, it is specifically for women, of course, but there is a lot of debate about it, which is wearing the abaya on the shoulder. I do not know what your opinion is, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : By Allah, if she is walking with it in the market, I think it is better to leave it off, because if she wears it on her shoulder in the market.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : The shoulders are exposed and the neck is exposed.

The questioner : Yes, the problem, Shaykh, is that women now argue that there is no imitating men in it, so is there imitating men or not?

The Shaykh : I told you, if she is in the market, she should not wear it on her shoulder because it outlines the shoulder and reveals the shoulder.

The questioner : Only in the market, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Only in the market.

The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.

The Shaykh : Wearing abayas, and at home she is not wearing abayas.

The questioner : Yes, but now wearing the abaya on the shoulder has become a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and means.

The Shaykh : Do not wear it.

The questioner : They are writing on.

The Shaykh : In the market. In the market, do not wear it on your shoulder.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, peace be upon you. May Allah permit.
