Wearing a khimaar under a jilbaab
Question
If a woman is wearing the jilbab and a niqab, does she also have to wear a khimar over/underneath the jilbab though the jilbab covers her head anyway? I heard some people say that she has to wear both the khimar and the jilbab, is this true?
Answer
No, as long as her head is properly covered.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
