What is a traditional robe-like Muslim dress called?

Abaya is worn usually when ever a woman gets out of the house

we all have the same color blood / just sayin

Oxygen8, You do surprise me

Different shades of brain matter White Lives Matter\sayin☆just

Player #30769880,are you suggesting we never get out of the house ???

yagura, abaya is for women for civer hr self and it's black in colour and jubba is for men for prayer hajj and it's in white colour

yagura, the dress worn by men is also called abaya or deshdasha depending on the region.

سهام, انا

this is wrong i think, abaya is worn by men not women, and it is usually white not black, it's what men wear going to mosques and on holidays etc

Brownie, yes, agree-especially if we do not practice Muslim religion.

Hey! I learned from this question that plurals in Arabic are designated by a “t”. In French, that’s “ae”, in Latin “i”. Also, how to remember an abaya? I know, we’ve all seen these all-encompassing garments on Muslim women, conforming to religious traditions, to “keep men at bay”, ergo, abaya.

Terry B , how is it restrictive? They are loose robes and movement is not hindered by them.

Player #30769880, they travel all the time with it and when we visit certain Muslim cities they expect westerners to wear it. I think that is wrong.

RSVP78, Only worn indoors if a non-family person is there. Finally abolished rule in Saudi Arabia.

I live in Saudi Arabia and every woman wear's abaya before going out. i really like this thing
