قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) تُصَلِّي الْمَرْأَةُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ إِزَارٍ وَ دِرْعٍ وَ خِمَارٍ وَ لَا يَضُرُّهَا بِأَنْ تُقَنِّعَ بِالْخِمَارِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَثَوْبَيْنِ تَتَّزِرُ بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَ تُقَنِّعُ بِالْآخَرِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ دِرْعٌ وَ مِلْحَفَةٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا مِقْنَعَةٌ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا تَقَنَّعَتْ بِالْمِلْحَفَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكْفِهَا فَلْتَلْبَسْهَا طُولًا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Usman Bin Isa, from Ibn Muskan, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The woman should pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in three clothes – a trouser, and a gown, and a scarf, and it would not harm her if she were to veil with the scarf. But, if she cannot find, so two clothes, wearing with one of it and veiling with the other’. I said, ‘Supposing there was a gown and a bedsheet, not having a scarf upon her’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem when she veils with the bedsheet. But if it does not suffice her, so let her wear it lengthwise’.
