Is it permissible for a woman to wear decorated or multi-colored clothes such as "a tunic over a skirt, a veil with fringes, with a crown, with glitter, with a gold or silver ribbon, or layers of veils in several colors, or an open khimar, or an abaya/skirt with two layers with an opening or transparent, or any decorated/embroidered/shiny/glittery piece or in colors that attract attention," based on His – the Almighty’s – saying: "And not display of their adornment except what is apparent thereof"?
It is not permissible to wear embroidered abayas, head coverings, and the like, because a condition of the hijab is that it should not be an adornment in itself. Anything that is an adornment in itself attracts the attention of men, so it is obligatory for a woman to abandon it.
