Woman wearing loose clothing when performing salaah
Question
Can women offer salaah in kameez shalwar with hijab or is it mandatory to put on an abaya till the feet? When I say kameez shalwar, I mean the one which is loose and not body revealing.
Answer
If it covers the entire body and it is loose and flowing, then it is permissible to perform salaah in it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
