The answer

The Islamic commanded women to observe , and it has conditions, including: covering the entire body, that it should not be an adornment in itself, that it should be thick and not transparent, loose and not tight, and that it should not resemble the clothing of men, disbelieving women, or clothes of fame. It is permissible to wear concealing trousers with a loose abaya, but it is forbidden to put adornments or striking colors on the abaya. The entire body must be covered, including the feet. It is ruled that covering the face and hands is obligatory, and only the eyes may be visible. It is permissible to wear high-heeled shoes if they do not produce a striking sound or lead to swaying in one's walk. It is permissible to look at the seller when making a purchase, without lust. Allah commanded the hijab to protect women and preserve the purity of society.
