Is the Shaylah forbidden, and are the colors of the Shaylah forbidden?
The legal hijab must cover the entire woman's body. The shayla covers the head and outlines it, but it is obligatory to wear over it a khimar that covers the head, chest, and face. There are conditions for the legal hijab. As for the colors suitable for a veiled woman's clothes, there is latitude in this matter. It is permissible to wear red, green, and yellow. However, if these colors are eye-catching and contradict the attire of women in your country, then one must adhere to the predominant color in society, provided it is not eye-catching.
