Question
Is it true that the clothing of Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was a shirt and a wrap?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It was reported that she wore a wrap only during her menstruation. Aisha said: "The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) used to pray at night while I was beside him, and I was menstruating, and I had a wrap on — the wrap is a garment worn by men and women that can be a waistcloth or a cloak, and it can be made of wool or silk — and part of it was on me." This is found in Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 1, p. 154.
