abaaya

Q: Are Muslim females not caught in the trap of emulating the Kufaar shia's by wearing black abayas?

Q: I have an elder sister and she is at the age of marriage. She got a proposal and the boy is good in all conditions but he wants his wife to wear abaya while my sister does not want to wear abaya. The boy's family said that abaya is necessary or else they will cancel the proposal. What should we do? Should we force our sister to wear abaya?

Q: What type of pants is best for a women to wear under their abaya? It is usually said women should not wear a pants with a zip? Imitates a man's dressing. And it should be a pants with elastic, however the formal pants with a zip etc. does not reveal ones shape of the legs, if one wears a pants with an elastic band and it's strech, it's more likely ones shape will be revealed? Due to fabric sticking to each other. Is it permissible to wear a huge abaya with a formal pants with a narrow bottom under? Is that modest?

Q: Is it permissible for a woman to wear a cloak that ties above the waist, STRICTLY in front of Muslim women?

Here is an explanation: A belt that ties above the waist will make the cloak a bit tighter towards the top part of the body, it will not be loose fitting on the upper part of the body. However, the lower part and the navel to knees will be covered without showing the shape of the body. This will be strictly in front of Muslim women (e.g. a function). Basically will she be exposing her satr (her satr in front of Muslim women) in this situation?

Q: Should we change our Abaaya when we tie ihram for Umrah and Should we wash our Abaya After Umrah as we wash our ihram or we can use it without washing.

Q: Should we change our Abaya (the abaya which we are wearing) when we tie ihram for Umrah or Hajj?

Q: What is the proper attire of a woman? Are abayas allowed to have any colour on it at all or should it be completely black? Can women wear colourful abaayas out of the home?

Q: I've a question which keeps disturbing me. Before traveling to another city where my mom lives, I bought an abaya from a local shop in Jeddah for my mother. Unfortunately that abaya was not my mom's size. After 2 weeks my husband and I went to the shop and returned it but the shopkeeper was reluctant to take it back and when he got to know that it's been weeks he refused to take it back because he didn't want to give us the cash back. When my husband persuaded him he said okay if you bring back the box in which the abaya came I'd take it back. the box was of almost no monetary value and he had tons of it in his shop and usually people don't take boxes with them they just take the abaya in a bag. We had the abaya in the bag and the abaya was never worn but he wouldn't agree. He just didn't want to take it back. My husband was very polite in the beginning but then he got angry and with some argument the shopkeeper cut 10% from the original cost and gave us the cash back very rudely. My husband said to his face that bengalis are bad people, I tried to stop my husband but he was way too angry. The shopkeeper said that I'll see you on the judgment day and take my money. It's been 2-3 months but I still feel guilty. I dunno if we were at right or wrong? Should We return the shopkeeper his money or should we let it go? Usually there no conditions on return or exchange. And abayas are sold too quickly so even if you got an abaya on order you can return and it and get another. I dunno law of shariah here. I just want to know that if the money was not haram for us because my husband forced the shopkeeper.

Q: I am trying to wear abaaya and scarf. My nafs are troubling me a lot and it is making it difficult. Also my husband is modern so I also have thoughts like I'm not dresses smart enough etc. And nowadays females dress up a lot and also I do notice my husbands eyes do wander and also he does dress up so I feel like his dressed up and I'm not. What advice can you give me to make it easier for me?

Another question is that If one is trying to wear abaya and scarf and I look at the clothing in a mall which are not Shar'ia compliant and feel in there heart that those clothes are so smart and maybe that wearing abaya and scarf is hard but doesn't say it out loud rather they pulled a face that could have been despondent or could have not been is that kufar? Or if they sigh out of difficulty of wearing abaya and scarf, is that kufar?

Q: Can a woman perform salaah in sari and nighty? Is it permissible? What is ruling of Shariah?
