Is it permissible for a woman to wear wide, loose-fitting trousers with a loose, knee-length tunic in cases of necessity, such as walking long distances, climbing, horseback riding, or mountain biking, if the jilbab impedes her movement and causes her hardship?

The condition mentioned in Fatwa no. 46148 is met by achieving concealment and not drawing attention. The intention is not specifically an abaya or a long shirt, but rather that the garment should be worn under loose, concealing clothes. Thus, anything that provides concealment for a woman and meets the Sharia-compliant criteria is permissible for her to wear and constitutes a valid legal hijab. A woman must observe her femininity when engaging in sports, both in terms of the nature of the sport and its location.
