Is it better for a woman to wear the abaya over her head or over her shoulder?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A woman is accustomed to wearing the abaya over her shoulder, and her husband advises her to wear the abaya over her head. Her justification for her position is that the abaya worn over the shoulder is accompanied by a covering that covers the face and shoulders, just as is the feature of the abaya worn over the head. What is Your Eminence’s opinion of this statement? And do you agree with her on that?

Answer:
This is a mistake. If she wants to go out of the house, she places the abaya or the jilbab on her head in order to cover her head and neck, just as it covers the rest of her body. As for placing it on her shoulders, that is an error, because the head remains uncovered by the jilbab or the abaya. Also, the majority of women at this time fiddle with their hair, gathering and tying it up. If she does not place the abaya over it, this becomes apparent, and it is as if she has two heads. Thus, she falls under the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) meaning the camels of the East, because the camels of the East have two humps. So this woman who gathered her hair and tied it, and it became a size, became as if it were another head next to her head. So first, this action is not permissible for her, and second, if she does it, she must place the abaya over it to cover it from people. Yes.
