The questioner : Also, he asks: Is it permissible for women to wear a white garment in prayer when they are praying in their homes?
The Shaykh : If the garment is covering and permissible, then there is no harm, because the color is not a consideration. A woman is allowed to wear white, yellow, red, or green, but she must not imitate men in these clothes. That is, she should not wear a garment whose stitching is like the stitching of men’s clothes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men and the men who imitate women. Just as the woman and the man are distinct in nature, they must also be distinct in terms of the Shari'ah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) commanded, the woman has her characteristics and the men have their characteristics.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
