Question:
The questioner says: I am a Sudanese woman who is committed, if Allah wills, and I wear the abaya. However, my community wears the Sudanese thobe in various colors and shapes. Does this constitute a deficiency in the Islamic hijab? Please note that what is worn under the thobe is covering. Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good. Yes? The questioner says: I am a Sudanese woman who is committed, if Allah wills, and I wear the abaya. However, my community wears the Sudanese thobe in various colors and shapes. Does this constitute a deficiency in the Islamic hijab, given that what is worn under the thobe is covering?
Answer:
Covering is what is required, whether by an abaya or something else. If they have clean clothes that they wear, such as a hijab and its like, and they cover themselves with them, the objective is achieved. It is not a condition that it be an abaya. People have their own customs and habits. So if in Sudan or elsewhere they wear a garment that covers them, like a sheet or a cloak that covers them, the requirement is met.
