Is there a specific garment for a woman in ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a sister from Egypt residing in Riyadh. She says: Shaykh, some women believe that there is a specific garment that a woman in ihram, or a woman in the state of ihram, must wear.

Answer:
There is no specific garment for a woman in ihram, except that she leaves off the clothing of adornment and wears ordinary clothing, and she avoids what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, which is wearing gloves on the hands and wearing the burqu' or niqab on the face. She covers her face with the khimar or the shaylah that is on her head. Yes.
