Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Ali to cut the silk cloak into pieces for the women, is there not evidence regarding the women’s veil? Is there not in this evidence that the veil for women contains an element of adornment from this cloak?
Answer:
What is displayed in the streets is adorned in the house; one wears beautiful clothes in the house, including silk, but does not go out into the street wearing them.
