The garment of the Muslim woman has specifications that must be met. If these conditions are met, she is permitted to wear it; otherwise, she is not. There is no difference in this regard whether she is in a Muslim country or a non-Muslim country. It is not a condition for this garment to have a specific shape or a specific color; rather, the intention is to achieve modesty and eliminate the causes of fitna.
