Is a multi-colored jilbab considered an adornment, and does adornment include colors?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no specific color required for women's clothing, nor is it required for the colors of the worn pieces to be uniform. Rather, the condition is that the clothing should not be eye-catching or cause temptation. The criterion for forbidden adornment is anything that is exciting and draws the attention of men, leading to temptation. Multiple colors may be a forbidden adornment if they are exciting, but they may not be if they do not cause temptation.
