The abaya "cloak" (colloquially and more commonly, (アラビア語:عباية) ', especially in Literary Arabic: '; plural ', '), sometimes also called an ''aba'', is a simple, loose over-garment, essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some women in parts of the Muslim world including in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Traditional ''abayat'' are black and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head or a long caftan. The ''abaya'' covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the ''niqāb'', a face veil covering all but the eyes. Some women choose to wear long black gloves, so their hands are covered as well. The Indonesian and Malaysian women's traditional dress kebaya gets its name from the ''abaya''. ==Rationale== The rationale behind the ''abaya'' is dealt with at greater length in the article Niqab. Often the Quranic quote, "O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters, and the believing women, to cover themselves with a loose garment. They will thus be recognised and no harm will come to them" Qur'an 33:59 (Translated by Ahmed Ali)] is given as the argument for wearing the ''abaya''. The ''abaya'' is most common in countries with large Muslim populations, as the entire body, except for the face and hands, is considered awrah: that which should be concealed in public from males unrelated by blood or marriage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「abaya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
