The Ruling on Wearing the Abaya on the Shoulder

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman asking: What is the ruling on wearing the women's abaya over the shoulder, especially since the women who wear it over the shoulder say that it is comfortable and easy, and that it is better than the head abaya, and this has become widespread among the women?

Answer:
After leaving off the abaya, she takes the lightest one and leaves it, saying, "This is the lightest." The abaya was made for covering, not for adornment; it was made for covering, so it is like the jilbab. The jilbab and the sheet cover the entire woman, from her head to her feet. So when the abaya is worn to go to the market, it should be on her head, not on her shoulders.
