Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Is it permissible for a woman to place her abaya on her shoulders during prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, because this may be more protective for her and easier for her than having to keep putting it back on her head every time it slips off. This is not a case of imitating men, because a woman’s appearance in this state does not resemble the appearance of men. Yes.
