Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَدْنَى مَا تُصَلِّي فِيهِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ قَالَ« دِرْعٌ وَ مِلْحَفَةٌ فَتَنْشُرُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَ تَتَجَلَّلُ بِهَا»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from ‘Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Zurarah, who said:
I asked Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام about the minimum clothing in which a woman may pray. Imam عليه السلام said: "A long shirt (dir‘) and an large wrap (milhafah), which she spreads over her head and covers herself with."
