Woman covering her eyes when leaving the home
Question
Whenever I go out of the house, I wear a plain black, very loose abaya that isn't possible to see my body shape, a dupatta and a single-flap niqab which you can see my eyes. Someone said that I have to cover my eyes and I have to wear a burqa over my abaya even if it is loose. I don't go to shopping malls, amusement centres, etc. So is it necessary?
Answer
As long as the abaya is concealing your body correctly and there no attraction the dupatta will be fine.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
