Wearing a coat or trench coat over an abaya is fine.\\n\\nAs for the shoulders, a coat, like an abaya, will naturally indicate where the shoulders are, and this is unavoidable. What is required is that the clothing not cling to or define the body in detail, not that it conceal every contour entirely.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232779","tag":"Women: Modesty","count":62},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327b5","tag":"Men: Modesty","count":38}],"createdOn":"2026-04-20T14:29:35.157Z"}
