The ruling on a woman wearing a prayer shawl when she leaves the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on wearing the jilbab along with the face covering? We are in a village, and in our houses or on our village trips, it is customary for us to wear the jilbab, which is like a prayer shawl but shorter.

Answer:
This is good, that she veils herself and covers her face and her extremities, and then she wears the abaya or the large jilbab over that. This is a measure of precaution and complete covering. Is this something to be praised in the Muslim woman? Yes.
