When they had assembled, Jundab came there with a yellow hooded cloak (burnous) on him, He said: Talk what you were busy in talking. The talk went on by turns, till there came his (Jundab's) turn.

Then the woman said, "I have woven it with my own hands, and I have brought it so that you may wear it." The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) accepted it, and at that time he needed it. So, he came out wearing it as his waist-sheet (lower garment). A man praised it and said, "Will you give it to me? How nice it is!" The other people said, "You have not done the right thing as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is in need of it and you have asked for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request."

See: (Fath Al-Baaree) by Ibn Hajar (1/76). [of water)].’ I took hold of it, and I went out with him. (I stopped but) the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) proceeded on till he was out of my sight. He relieved himself and then came back and he was wearing a tight-sleeved Syrian gown. He tried to get his forearms out, but the sleeve of the gown was very narrow, so he brought his hands out from under the gown. I poured water over (his hands) and he performed ablution for prayer, then wiped over his socks and prayed.” [154] Narrated by Al-Bukhari (363), the wording is his, and Muslim (274).
- Safwaan bin Ya’laa bin Umayyah narrates that Ya’laa used to say, “I wish I could see Allah's Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) when the Qur’an is being revealed to him.” When the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was at Al-Ji'raanah and was shaded by a garment giving him shade and some of his companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent [155] Mutadammikh (rubbed with perfume): well anointed with perfume. (Sharh al-Masaabeeh) by Ibn Maalik (3/335). came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)! What is your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihraam and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body with scent?" The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) waited for a while, and then the Divine Inspiration descended upon him. `Umar pointed out to Ya`laa, telling him to come. Ya`laa came and pushed his head underneath the screen which was covering the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and behold! The Prophet's face was red, and he kept on breathing heavily for a while and then he was relieved. Thereupon he said, "Where is the questioner who asked me about `Umrah a while ago?" The man was sought and then was brought before the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) who said (to him), "As regards the scent which you perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice, and as for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform in your `Umrah all those things which you perform in Hajj." [156] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (4329) and the wording is his, and Muslim (1180).
Eighth: Saraaweel [157] Saraaweel: An outer garment that covers the navel, the knees, and what is in between. See: (Lisaan Al-Arab) by Ibn Manzoor (11/334), (Al-Mu’jam Al-Waseet) (1/428). (lower garment)
- Aboo Hurayrah narrated that a stood up to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and asked the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) about praying in a single garment. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, "Has every one of you two garments?" A man put a similar question to ‘Umar on which he replied, "When Allah makes you wealthier, then you may display the affluence. Otherwise, one can pray with an Izaar (lower garment) and a Ridaa (upper garment). Izaar and a shirt, Izaar and a Qabaa (cloak), trousers and a Ridaa, trousers and a shirt or trousers and a Qaba, Tubbaan (short trousers up the knees) and a Qabaa or Tubbaan and a shirt."

And if he has no slippers, then he can use Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather), but the socks should be cut short so that that they are below the ankles.” [159] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (134) and the wording is his, and Muslim (1177).
The relevance:
The hadeeth through its text proves the prohibition of their wearing for the one wearing Ihraam, however, through its understanding, it proves the permissibility of their wearing for others. [160] See Ghithaa al-Albaab by as-Safaareenee (2/184).
- Ibn ‘‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates stating, “I heard the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) delivering sermon at ‘Arafaat, stating, ‘One who does not have sandals, let him wear [short] leather socks and one who does not have Izaar (long lower garment), then let him wear Saraaweel (short lower garment),’ pertaining to a person in Ihraam.” [161] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (1841) and the wording is his, and Muslim (1178).
Ninth: Wearing trousers for men
It is permitted for men to wear trousers, [162] Unfortunately, the wearing of cracked and patched jeans and other related items of clothing has spread among the youth, imitating the people of unbelief or immorality, and this is not permissible. The wearing of tight-fitting trousers that reveal the ‘awrah has become widespread, and this violates virility, and is at least disliked. this is the statement of Bin Baaz, [163] Ibn Baaz said, “I do not know of any objection to it if it is in a shape that does not reveal the private part, but rather covers the private part, and there is no resemblance [to the womenswear]. Pants that pertain to men are not worn by women, and trousers that pertain to women are not worn by men.” (The official website of Ibn Baaz). Ibn ‘Uthaymeen [164] Ibn Uthaymeen said, "What Muslims and infidels have in common, this is not a resemblance (tashabbuh), like now men wear trousers. We do not say this is a resemblance as that has become a habit for everyone." (The Open-Door Meeting) (Meeting No. 108). and the Permanent Council [165] It came in the Fatwas of the Standing Committee: (As for wearing trousers and a suit and the likes, the basic principle in these types of clothing is permissibility, because it is among the matters of customs; the Almighty said, Say: “Who forbids the adornment of Allah, which He has taken for His servants and the good things of sustenance.” [Al-A’raaf:32]. However, what the Shari’a indicates about their prohibition or undesirability is exempted from that rule, such as silk for men, that clothing which reveals the ‘awrah because it is transparent and the colour of the skin can be seen behind it, or if it is tight so it defines the ‘awrah, because, in that instance, that is under the rule of revealing the ‘awrah, while its revealing is not allowed.” (Fatwas of the Standing Committee - First Collection) (3/430). gave fatwa on this. That is because the principle in clothing is its permissibility, as it is among the matters of customs. [166] See: (Fatwas of the Standing Committee - First Collection) (3/430).
Tenth: Wearing wide trousers for women
It is permissible for women to wear wide trousers that does not reveal the ‘awrah, [167] Unfortunately, nowadays, many women do not adhere to the rules of Shari’ah in their clothing. Among that is the wearing of trousers. It has spread among them wearing very tight clothing that reduces the ‘awrah (between the navel and the knee) and wearing cracked and patched jeans and other similar items of clothing that bear resemblance to unbelievers and immoral women and following fashions without giving weight to the side of Shar’iah. More will be discussed about the rues about the clothing of the woman, See: The issue concerning tight clothing for women. in front of the Mahram relatives and women, when there is no tashabbuh (resemblance) to men. This is the statement of Ibn Baaz. [168] Ibn Baaz said regarding the ruling on women wearing trousers: (I do not know of any objection to it if it is in a form that does not describe the ‘awrah, but rather conceals the ‘awrah, and it does not have any resemblance to men. The trousers specific to men, women should not wear them and the ones that are specific to women, men should not wear them. If they are in a form that is specific to unbelievers, then a Muslim must not wear. In summary, a man and a woman must assess and work out that their dress does not resemble the dress of the opposite gender, neither in trousers and other items of clothing, and that it does not resemble the dress that is specific to unbelievers. As for the shared items of clothing that are not specific to the unbelievers, then that is fine. (The official website of Ibn Baaz). That is because the principle in clothing is permissibility. [169] See: (Al-Qawaaid an-Nooraaniyyah) by Ibn Taymiyyah (p. 164), (Tafseer of Ibn Katheer) (3/408), (Tafseer of Abee Al-Sa’ood) (3/224), (Al-Ifhaam fee Sharh ‘Umdat Al-Ahkaam) ) by Ibn Baaz (p. 777), (The Opening Door Meeting) by Ibn Uthaymeen (Meeting No: 11), (Fatwas of the Standing Committee - First Collection) (24/38).
Eleventh: Tie
It is permissible for men to wear a tie, [170] It is also called gravata. It is a rectangular piece of cloth that wraps under the collar of the shirt, is knotted from the front and hangs on the chest. (Dictionary of Contemporary Arabic Language) (2/847). the Standing Committee [171] It came in the Fatwas of the Standing Committee, “Wearing a suit and necktie (the garvata) is not part of the clothing specific to the infidels, so it is permissible unless the wearer intends to imitate them. In summary, the principle in clothing is permissibility unless a shar’i proof indicates its prohibition.” (Fatwas of the Standing Committee - First Collection) (24/40). gave fatwah on this; that is because the principle in clothing is permissibility. [172] See: (Al-Qawaaid an-Nooraaniyyah) by Ibn Taymiyyah (p. 164), (Tafseer of Ibn Katheer) (3/408), (Tafser of Abee Al-Sa’ood) (3/224), (Al-Ifhaam fee Sharh ‘Umdat Al-Ahkaam) ) by Ibn Baaz (p. 777), (The Opening Door Meeting) by Ibn Uthaymeen (Meeting No.: 11), (Fatwas of the Standing Committee - First Collection) (24/38).

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) took the Khameesah in his hands and made me wear it and said, "May you live so long that your dress will wear out and you will mend it many times." He said it twice. He kept on looking at the design of the Khameesah and pointing towards it saying, "O Umm Khaalid! This is Sanaah."

And because red is a colour, it is like all other colours. (Al-Mughni) (1/420). chose, Shamsuddeen Ibn Qudaamah [198] Shams al-Din Ibn Qudaamah said: The correct view is that there is nothing wrong with it.

It is allowed for women to wear red by the consensus of all the Fiqhi Madhabs: the Hanafiyyah, [205] (Al-Durr Al-Mukhtaar and Haashiyat Ibn Abideen) (6/358) and see: (Durar Al-Hukkaam) by Mullah Khusraw (1/312), (Majma’ Al-Anhaar fi Sharh Multaqaa Al-Abhaar) by Sheikhi Zadeh (2/532). Maalikiyyah, [206] (Mawaahib Al-Jaleel) by Al-Hattaab (2/191) and see: (Explanation [Sharh] of Mukhtasar Khaleel) by Al-Kharshee (1/253). Shaafi’iyyah, [207] (Rawdah Al-Talibeen) by Al-Nawawee (2/69), (Tuhfat Al-Muhtaaj) by Ibn Hajar Al-Haythami (3/33). Hanaabilah, [208] (Al-Mubd’) by Burhaan Al-Din Ibn Muflih (1/331), (Kashshaaf Al-Qinaa’) by Al-Buhootee (1/284). and it is the statement of a group of the pious predecessors.

Evidence:
First: From the Quran
The statement of Allah Almighty, “Ask, [O Prophet], “Who has forbidden the adornments
and lawful provisions Allah has brought forth for His servants?” Say, “They are for the enjoyment of the believers in this worldly life, but they will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Judgment. This is how We make Our revelations clear for people of knowledge.” (Al-‘Araaf: 32)The relevance:It contains proof that the principle in food items and clothing and all types of beautification is permissibility. [210] Tafseer Abee as-Sa’ood (3/224). Second: From the Sunnah- Al-Baraa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, saying, “The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was of a medium stature. And I saw him in a red suit. I have never seen anything better (handsome) than him.” [211] It was narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (5848), and Muslim (2337). - Aboo Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, saying that he saw the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) leaving quickly in a red suit, he led the people in prayer facing towards a tiny spear.” [212] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree(376) and Muslim (503). Fifth branch: Embroidered with unusual colours- Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, saying that a woman brought a woven Burdah (sheet) having edging (border) to the Prophet. Then Sahl asked them whether they knew what a Burdah is. They said that Burdah [213] It has been defined before, (p.43). is a cloak and Sahl confirmed their reply. Then the woman said, "I have woven it with my own hands, and I have brought it so that you may wear it." The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) accepted it, and at that time he needed it. So, he came out wearing it as his waist-sheet. A man praised it and said, "Will you give it to me? How nice it is!" The other people said, "You have not done the right thing as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is in need of it and you have asked for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request." The man replied, "By Allah, I have not asked for it to wear it but to make it my shroud." Later it was his shroud. [214] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (1277). - Anas bin Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, saying, “The most beloved clothing to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was a hibarah [215] Al-Hibarah: Cloaks embroidered with red and white colours. See (Al-Nihaayah) by Ibn al-Atheer (1/328), (Lisaan al-Arab) by Ibn Mandhoor (4/159), (Kashshaf al-Qinaa’) by Al-Buhootee (1/287). (red and white stripped cloak). [216] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (5813) and Muslim (2079). - Khabbaab bin al-Arat (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, stating that “We migrated with the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in Allah's cause, and so our reward was then surely incumbent on Allah. Some of us died and they did not take anything from their rewards in this world, and amongst them was Mus’ab bin `Umair who was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud, and he left behind his ‘namirah’ [217] Al-Namirah: a cloak with black and white stripes. See: (al-Nihaayah) by Ibn Al-Atheer (5/118), (Lisaan Al-‘Arab) by Ibn Mandhoor (5/235). (stripped clock). When we covered his head, his feet would become exposed and if we covered his feet, his head would become exposed… .” [218] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (6448) and Muslim (940). - ‘Amr bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates saying that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated, “… When the time of prayer comes one of you should call the athaan and the one of you who knows most of the Qur’an should lead the prayers." So, they considered, and there was no one who knew more of the Our’an than I did because of what I had received from the riders. They therefore put me forward in front of them, and I was only six or seven years old, and I wore a mantle …” [219] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (4302).
Second topic: Conditions of clothing and its rules
First requirement: General conditions and rules concerning the clothing of men and women
(1) There should be not tashabbuh (resemblance) of women to men and vice versa.
- Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed that a man wears the way a woman wears and that a woman wears the way a man wears. [220] It was narrated by Abu Dawood (4098), Al-Nasaa’i in “As-Sunan Al-Kubraa” (9253), and Ahmad (8309). Its chain of transmission was authenticated by Al-Nawawee in Al-Majmoo’ (4/469), Al-Dhahabee in “Al-Kabeer” (253), Ibn Daqeeq graded it as authentic in “Al-Iqtiraah” (116), and Al-Albaani in “Sahih Sunan Abi Dawood”) 4098).
- Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, saying, “The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who resemble/imitate women and women who imitate men.” [221] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (5885).
(2) It should not resemble the clothing of the infidels, the people of innovation, immorality, and the lowly of the people. [222] It is unfortunate that this is widespread among many young men and girls; Following the fashion and thinking that this is the epitome of urbanization and progress, and the reasons for this are satellite channels, social media programs, frequent travel to the countries of the infidels, and mixing with them and the lowly people.
- ‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr b. al-‘Aas narrated, saying that when Allah’s Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saw him wearing two garments dyed with saffron [223] Al-Mu’asfar: It is the garment dyed with saffron, and (safflower) is a summer plant from which a red dye is extracted with which silk is dyed and the like. See: (Al-Misbaah Al-Muneer) by Al-Fayoomee (2/414), (Al-Mu’jam Al-Waseet) by a group of authors (2/605). he said, “These are the garments worn by infidels, so, do not wear them.” [224] Narrated by Muslim (2077).
- Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates saying that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated, “One who imitates other people is among them.” [225] It was narrated by Abu Dawood (4031), Ahmad (5114), and al-Bayhaqee in “Shu’ab al-Imaan” (1154). His chain of transmission was authenticated by al-Dhahabi in “Siyar Al-‘Alaam Al-Nubalaa” (15/509), Al-Iraqee in “Takhreej Al-Ihyaa” (1/359), and Ahmad Shaakir in “Musnad Ahmad” (15/509), and Ibn Hajar said In “Fath al-Baaree” (10/282): Thaabit, and the hadith was authenticated by Ibn Baaz in “Majmoo’ of Fatwas of Ibn Baaz” (4/358), and al-Albaanee in “Irwaa al-Ghaleel” (1269).
(3) It should not be a celebrity [226] What is meant by the dress of fame is what is intended to become famous among people, whether the dress is precious, worn to show off the world and its adornment, or it is despicable that one wears to show asceticism and hypocrisy. See: (Haashiyat al-Sindee on Sunan Ibn Maajah) (2/378). dress.
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever wears a garment of pride and vanity in this world, Allah will clothe him in a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection, then set it ablaze.” [227] It was narrated by Abu Dawood (4030), Ibn Maajah (3607) and the wording is his, and Ahmad (5664). It was classed as Hasan by Ibn al-Qattaan in “Baayan wa al-Waham wal Ihaam” (3/297), al-Albaanee in “Saheeh Abee Dawood” (4029), and its chain of transmission deemed as Hasan by al-Mundhiri in “Al-Targheeb wal-Tarheeb” (3/151), and al-Sakhaawee in (Al-Maqaasid al-Hasanah) (499), and its chain of transmission was authenticated by Ahmad Shaakir in the investigation of “Musnad Ahmad” (8/43).
(4) It should not be forbidden (such as the clothing of silk and gold for men). [228] The details of this will come later.
(5) It should not be extravagant.
- Allah Almighty states, “O Children of Adam! Dress smartly whenever you are at the place of worship. Eat and drink, but do not waste. Surely He does not like the wasteful.” (Al-‘Araaf: 31)
The relevance:
The verse indicates a severe threat against extravagance in food, drink, and clothing, [229] (Fath al-Bayaan fee Maqaasid al-Qur’an) by Siddiq Hassan Khan (4/333). and everything that a person brings to the point of extravagance is prohibited. [230] (Fataawaa Noor ‘alaa ad-Darb) by Ibn Uthaymeen (11/205).
- ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated, “Eat, give charity and clothe yourselves, without being extravagant, and without showing off.” [231] Makheelah (showing off): its definition has already been stated. [232] Al-Bukhaaree narrated it as a commentary in the form of jazm before the hadith (5783), and it was narrated by an-Nasaa’ee (2559) fully connected, the wording is his, Ibn Maajah (3605), and Ahmad (6695). Al-Mundhiree said in “Al-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb” (3/169): Its narrators to Amr are trustworthy and can be taken as evidence in the Saheeh. It was classed as Hasan by Ibn Hajar in (Al-Amaalee Al-Mutlaqah) (32) and it was authenticated by Al-Haythamee Al-Makkee in “Al-Zawaajir” (2/35).35), and Al-San’aani in “Subul as-Salaam” (4/272).
Second requirement: Conditions and rules of a woman's veil (hijab), and the clothing specific to it
First branch: Conditions and rules for women's veil
(1) It should cover all her body. [233] See: Sub-section: What a woman must cover in front of a foreign (non-mahram) man.
(2) It should not reveal or describe her body. [234] See: Sub-section: Wearing a thin item of clothing that reveals (p.31).
(3) It should not be too tight that describes the size of its body parts. [235] See: Sub-section: The wearing of tight clothing for women that defines the awrah (p. 33).
(4) It should not be an adornment by itself.
(5) It should not be perfumed or incensed. [237] Due to the statement of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), “If anyone of you [women] comes to the mosque, then she should not apply perfume.” Muslim narrated it (443) from the hadeeth of Zainab, the wife of Ibn Mas’ood.
Second branch: Clothes that are specific to Hijaab
First: Jilbaab [238] Al-Nawawee said in defining the jilbab says: It is the sheet that a woman wraps over her clothes, and this is the correct view). (Al-Majmoo’) (3/172). Al-Qurtubee said: The correct view is that it is the garment that covers the whole body). (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi) (14/243). Ibn Rajab said: And the jilbaab is the sheet that covers the whole body, to be worn over the clothes, and from it is the saying of Allah Almighty: They should lower their jilbaabs over them. (Fath Al-Baari) (1/507).
- Allah Almighty says, “O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks (jalaabeeb) over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And
Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (al-Ahzab: 59)
The relevance:
Allah Almighty’s statement, “to draw their cloaks,” jalaabeeb: which is a garment that covers the entire body. [239] (Tafseer Al-Qurtubee) (14/243).
- ‘Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates, stating, “We were commanded to bring out the menstruating women and those who were secluded on the day of the two festivals so that they might be present at the congregational prayer of the Muslims and their supplication, but the menstruating women would remain at a distance from their place of prayer. A woman said, “Messenger of Allah, one of our number does not possess an outer garment (jilbab)." He replied, “Let her friend lend her hers.” [240] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (351).
The relevance:
The hadeeth points towards the fact that the custom among the wives of the companions was that a woman would not come out without a jilbab and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not allow them to leave the house without a jilbab. [241] Majmoo’ Fataawaa bib Baaz (4/243)
Second: Khimaar [242] Khimaar is what a woman wears on her head (scarf). See: Mufradaat fee Ghareeb al-Qur’aan by ar-Raaghib al-Asfahaanee (p.298), Lisaan al-‘Arab by Ibn Mandhoor (4/256 and 257) (scarf/veil)
- Allah Almighty states, “Let them draw their veils over their chests.” (an-Nur: 31)
The relevance:
Allah Almighty commanded believing women to put scarfs over their heads and this is the textual evidence for covering their heads. [243] Tafseer Ibn Katheer (6/46).
- Aaishaa (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say, “When this verse was revealed, ‘Let them draw their veils over their chests,’ the ladies took their lower garments and cut them at the edges, and they covered their heads using those cuts pieces.” [244] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (4759).
Third: Niqaab [245] Niqaab: it is a covering for the face that is tightened on the forelock, and it has two holes over the eyes. See: (Tahdheeb Al-Lughah) by Al-Azharee (9/160), (Fath Al-Baaree) by Ibn Hajar (4/53), (Nayl Al-Awtaar) by Al-Shawkanee (5/7).
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, “A woman in ihraam must not wear a niqaab neither should she wear gloves.” [246] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (1838).
The relevance:
The Hadeeth indicates that Niqaab was well known among the women. [247] (‘Aaridah Al-Ahwathee) by Ibn Al-Arabee (4/56), (Majmoo’ Al-Fataawaa) by Ibn Taymiyyah (15/370).
Fourth: Burqa [248] Burqa: is the mask with which a woman covers her face, and it was said: It does not contain piercings for the eyes, and accordingly it is synonymous with niqaab. See: (Shams al-‘Uloom) by Nashwaan al-Hameeree (1/493), (Mukhtaar al-Sihaah) by al-Razee (p. 33), (Al-Mu’jam al-Waseet) (1/51).
‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates stating, “A woman in Ihraam can wear whatever she likes apart from a Burqa and clothing dyed red with safflower.” [249] Al-Bukhaaree narrated it as a commentary in the form of jazm (definiteness) before the hadith (1545), and it was narrated as a Mawsool narration by al-Bayhaqee (9316), and it is his wording. Its chain of transmission was authenticated by Ibn Taymiyyah in “Sharh Al-‘Umdah” (2/101), and Al-Albaanee in “Irwaa Al-Ghaleel” (4/212).
Fifth: Gloves
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, “… A woman in Ihraam must not wear a niqaab neither should she wear gloves.” [250] Narrated by Al-Bukhaaree (1838). The wording is his, and Muslim (1177).
The relevance:
This indicates that both the Niqaab and gloves were well known among the women. [251] (Majmoo’ Al-Fataawaa) by Ibn Taymiyyah (15/370) (‘Aaridhah Al-Ahwathee) by Ibn Al-Arabee (4/56).
