Clothing for Women

Q: On my wedding day I wore a maxi dress which was black in colour. I made up myself in a pleasant manner. But I didn't use a veil to cover my head or my chest. The important thing was no men was allowed to visit the place where I was. Only ladies entered the place. But my mother in law and sister in law made a big fuss on my wedding day saying that as a lady I cannot dress in that manner and they left the place without looking at our faces. The black colour of our maxi dress was a disgrace to them and they said that a bride cannot wear a maxi dress in black according to Islam. If we cover our awrah in a proper way without covering the head in front of only ladies, is it prohibited? Is it permissible to wear a maxi for one's wedding day in front of other ladies?

Q: Is it permissible for woman in parda to wear another type of cloth except only black. Example wearing a pink kimar and black veil. 

Q: Im 24 years old. I cover my face with niqaab. That means I wear abaya and cover my face when I go out. I use a normal, usual and black face cover to cover my face which is in abaya shops. Usually I wear the latest design abayas but it does not fit and it doesn't show my body's shape but it's the trend. So I had an idea to change my face cover material that still covers my face fully. Is it permissible to wear a different kind of face cover or it musn't change. That means, the materials and the colours of face coverl, can they change? There are abayas in may kinds of materials, so like that can I use different material for face covers?

Q: Would it be permissible for ladies to wear:

1. Sweatpants that are meant originally for men but if one is wearing it one would not be able to discern whether it is meant for a man or a woman?

2. Socks that are meant for men but are of the colours pink and light blue and if one is wearing it, it would look like womans socks.

Q:

1. All the cloth material of my clothes are such that when sunlight passes through them, or if in the light of my room itself if I stand in certain angles, in correspondence to the light the cloth becomes little transparent, and I have seen many cloth materials like this, and I think they are all like that. Please advise me if I am checking in the wrong manner?

2. Should the cloth material be so thick that you should not be able to see anything through it if you take the material in your hands and see through it by placing it in front of your eyes?

3. I want to wear dreeses as per the sunnah way, please advise me in detail how should I make my dresses stiched (for females). Should I make my nape covered by stiching a collar?

Till where should the length of the shirt go (for wearing with shalwaar)?

Can there be slits? Can it be round at the bottom? Is it enough for it to be 2 inches loose from actual measurement? 

Q: 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?

Q: At home, can a woman wear night dress for husband at night/daytime?

Q: What is your opinion on women wearing fancy clothes to weddings as has become the habit nowadays. I am referring to events where there is full segregation and one attends in niqab and jilbaab however thereafter remove when only women present.

Also, is there fazeelat for those who adopt simplicity? My sister is getting married and family members are asking me to wear a nice dress. I generally wear a loose jubba in the house, so on the wedding day, would it be more preferable to wear what I normally wear or please the family and wear something nice. I have heard fazeelat for that person who adopts simplicity when he is able to wear something of higher rank.

Q: In the home, can a girl wear loose fitting full sleeve short shirts that do not show the body figures?

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