What is the ruling on wearing the abaya with sleeves that cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)

Question : Do we have another call? Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Honorable Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen. Yes, peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Peace, Allah’s mercy, and blessings be upon you. I have two questions, Honorable Shaykh. The first question: You issued a ruling on wearing the abaya with sleeves and forbade it. We have advised those who wear this abaya, but we have noticed the emergence of an abaya that is even more of a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) than that one, namely the French abaya. This abaya makes the woman more beautiful and more of a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) than removing the abaya itself. So we ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to warn against it in the hearing of those who doubt its prohibition.

Answer : Yes, I say, may Allah bless you. I did not forbid it; I did not make it haram (forbidden) to wear the abaya with sleeves. But I say that the abaya is better, more beautiful, and further from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and that it is not befitting for women to pick up every new thing, because the enemies of Islam are many, and the enemies of virtue are many, and in reality they spare no effort to unleash their evil upon this conservative land, and praise be to Allah. So I say that wearing the abaya in the first way that we and our fathers knew is the best, the most covering, and the most preferable. As for this new abaya with sleeves, there is no doubt that it is closer to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). The more it attracts attention, the further it is from good and the closer it is to evil. And I warn our women and the women of all the believers not to pick up every new thing that comes, because the enemies of Islam are many, and the enemies of Islam know that the hardest thing they can strike at in the appearance of Muslims is the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) of women, because they read what they read from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
They know, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said And if they do not know that through the Shari'ah, they know it through the science of psychology. Because if men’s only concern is women, the interests of their religion and their worldly affairs are lost. In any case, I advise the women of the believers not to pick up every new thing that comes to them, and I advise those in charge of these women, who are the men, I advise them not to neglect the trust that Allah has made obligatory upon them in caring for women, and not to let them run wild, but rather it is obligatory upon them, the men, to direct women to what is in their good and to keep them away from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
