It is a well-known garment among women. A well-known garment among women, but explain it to us.
It resembles a shield.
A garment.
Is it worn on the head or on the shoulders? And does the head or the neck remain exposed? It has another garment, but it is distinct and stands out.
The basic principle is that the ka'b is permissible, because it covers.
But I believe we should not open the door for women.
In imitating others. When did this come to us?
Except when people came to us or we went to them.
So for her to pick up the customs of others that have no beneficial distinction from
our customs, this always makes a person follow others.
And we never have dignity except for others, so as long as our clothing is the abaya.
It is the covering for the woman.
And it is the best, so let us stick to it.
Because this year you might allow her to wear heels and she wears heels.
Next year she says: Give me the trousers.
Yes, then in the third or fourth year she also asks for short clothing and the so-called "Afandi" clothing, and things like that.
So what I see is that we should protect women, we should not adopt these customs.
And we say: What do you gain from this? When a woman wraps herself in the abaya, it becomes like a shroud.
It is more covering, better, more lasting, and more honorable for a person, for a person to take pride in customs that do not go against the Sharia, and not to be a follower of others in adopting customs.
