Published as Performing salaah in long abaayas that touch the floor
Question
How long should a woman's abaya be? If a women's abaaya is so long that it touches the floor, will her namaz with such an abaaya be accepted because she may go out in these long abayas to malls and outside the home and we do not know if the places where our abaayas touch is paak.
Answer
Yes, her namaaz will be accepted.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
