Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 6720 )
Q2: Can a woman wear a khimar over her hijab, or is it not permissible to wear anything over it? And what is better: wearing the khimar and the jilbab, or the loose garment that covers from the head to the feet?
A2: It is obligatory for the Muslim woman to cover her head, face, and entire body in the presence of non-mahram men. It is prescribed that the khimar be close to her head, and then she should cover herself with a large cloak, which is the jilbab; based on the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He):[Al-Ahzab 33:59] the verse.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلابِيبِهِنَّAnd success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
