What is the ruling on wearing an adorned abaya that has the word "Allah" on it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The question has two parts: The first is the ruling on embroidered garments for women. The answer is: If the embroidery is conspicuous and eye-catching, then the woman's hijab is not valid. If it is subtle or not eye-catching, then there is no harm.

The second part is the ruling on wearing garments with the لفظ الجلالة (the majestic word, referring to "Allah") inscribed on them. The answer is: It should not be worn, due to the risk of exposing it to disrespect or impurity. However, if one can protect it, then there is no harm.
