Question

The Jilbaab of the Muslim woman – must it be specifically be black or can it be of other colours?

Answer

The clothing of the Muslim woman is not restricted to being black, and it is permissible for her to wear any colour of clothing so long as it covers her ‘awrah (that part of the body which should be covered according to the sharee‘ah), does not cause resemblance of men, is not close-fitting such that it delineates the shape of her body, is not thin and transparent such that is reveals what is underneath it, and does not provoke fitnah (temptation).

Is the face of a women considered to be 'awrah?
I don't wear niqab, but I wear a long Jilbaab that covers me from head to toe alhamdulillah. But is that considered to be enough?

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. Al-Quran 33:59
