The Shari'ah-prescribed clothing for women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Nasser from Sudan says: Shaykh, what is the Shari'ah-prescribed clothing for a woman, and how does she adhere to it? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The Shari'ah-prescribed clothing for a woman is covering clothing that shields her from the gaze of others. It must be loose-fitting over her entire body when she goes out of the house, and it must be wide, not tight. It must not be transparent; it should be thick enough to conceal what is beneath it. It must not be short in a way that exposes parts of her limbs when she goes out, and it must not contain adornment that attracts attention when she goes out. Yes.
