The ruling on a woman wearing the jilbab or the kab?

Question : May Allah bless you. What is the ruling on the jilbab that women wear these days, which is on the shoulder and has a cut-off top?

Answer : They call this the kab. The kab and the jilbab, the kabasah. There is no doubt that this offers less coverage than the earlier garments that are on the head, but it is not forbidden unless a person forbids it in order to block the means to harm, so that women do not expand upon it. It is no doubt that the shoulder is exposed, and also the khimar on top of the head reveals the size of the head, and perhaps there is hair wrapped around the crown of the head or something similar. So what we hold is that women should not wear this, but declaring it forbidden is difficult.
