Ruling on a woman placing her abaya on her shoulder during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in this question, Your Eminence: Is there anything wrong with placing the abaya on the shoulder during prayer? Knowing that placing it on the head is what we do when we leave the house, and we are accustomed to doing so?
Answer:
Placing it on the shoulders is not permissible; because it is imitating the men. However, she should wear something of a covering garment at the time of prayer, an additional piece that covers her legs, and that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, along with covering the head.
So the result is that wearing the shalwar in the manner that men wear it is not permissible, neither in prayer nor otherwise; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade imitating the men, and he said:. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
