What is the ruling on wearing the thin piece of cloth on the shoulders (the "mishlah") which is considered an adornment and does not make the jilbab tight?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The legal hijab does not have a specific form; rather, anything that fulfills the legal conditions is a permissible hijab. If the mentioned garment is an adornment that attracts men's attention, then it is not permissible to wear it, as it contradicts the intent of the Sharia for a woman to conceal her adornment, due to the Almighty's saying: "And not display their adornment."
