الشرح المختصر :
"Albisah" (clothes) refers to what is worn to cover the body. It is of two types: 1. "Albisah" specific to men: they should be loose, neither transparent nor resembling the clothes that are specific to the disbelievers. 2. "Albisah" specific to women: they should cover the whole body and be loose. They should not be transparent, embellished, or resembling the clothes that are specific to the disbelievers or men.
التعريف اللغوي المختصر :
"Albisah" (sing. libās): clothes that conceal and cover one's body. It is derived from "labs", which means intermixing. Clothes are named as such in Arabic because they intermix with the body.
