Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Your Eminence is asked about the lawful description of the hijab. Is it necessary to wear a specific garment? Or does any covering that covers the woman and covers her body suffice for that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Shaykh: Yes, the objective is covering. If the covering is achieved with a khimar or otherwise, that is what is required. She covers her entire body in any way, with the khimar on her head and face, and the abaya over her entire body... she wears it so that it covers her body. The objective is covering; that is the objective. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
