Sharshaf Salah - Women's Prayer Dress


Muslim women usually pray at home, and when they do, they usually throw on a special dress for prayer over the normal clothing they are wearing. In Saudi Arabia, this prayer dress is called "Sharshaf Salah."   For prayer, Islam requires that women cover every part of their bodies except the face and the hands.


The sharshaf comes in many different styles and fabrics, and is most often a one piece loose flowing garment, including an attached scarf or hood to cover the hair.  They can be found in most souks and are reasonably priced.

Hi Mubina - You can find them in many places - Al Balad, Makaruna Souk, Bawadi Souk, Shattee Souk. Certainly you've seen them if you live in Jeddah.
