Dress Code For Women During Hajj

These are quotes (without permission) from different sources on dress code for women for Hajj. While discussing with a friend, the question came up of whether women should be dressed only in abaya. Sources are listed below along with quotes from the same that throw light on the question.

1. "The muhrimah should not uncover her face or hands in front of non-mahram men using the excuse that the niqaab and gloves are among the things that are forbidden in ihraam, because they can cover their faces and hands with anything such as their clothes, scarves, etc. Umm al-Mu’mineen ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in ihraam. When they came alongside us we would lower our jilbaabs from our heads over our faces, and when they had passed by we would uncover them.”  Narrated by Abu Dawood and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Hijaab al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah. "
2. 11 – It is permissible for the muhrimah to wear a shirt, pants, socks on the feet, gold bangles and rings, watches, etc, but she should cover her adornments in front of non-mahram men during Hajj and at other times. 
3. 22 – Beware of uncovering any part of your body, especially in places where men could see you, such as public wudoo’ areas. Some women do not care about men being close to such areas and they uncover during wudoo’ things that it is not permissible to uncover, such as the face, forearms and calves. They may even take off their headcovers, thus uncovering their heads and necks. All of that is haraam and is not permissible, because it causes a great deal of fitnah (temptation) to them and to men.

1. Mistake # 9: Being uncovered in Muzdalifah: Muzdalifah is an open ground and there are no tents, etc and the bathrooms are in an open field. When the sisters make wuḍū' there, they forget that they are in an open area and there are men everywhere who can see them. Yet, they take off their ḥijābs and dupattas right in front of them to make wuḍū', thus exposing themselves. So how does one make wuḍū' in such a situation? There is an easy solution to all of this. Whenever you need to make wuḍū', go with a few women as a group and take turns making wuḍū' while the others can hold up a piece of cloth, ḥijāb, etc in such a way as to cover you and hide you completely. This way no one can see you, insha Allāh.

5. Photos of appropriate dress here and here. As per the last link "A woman in Hajj should not cover her face or wear gloves, just as a male should not cover his head." This seems to contradict earlier quotes where it is said that she should cover her face and wear gloves.

But a common agreement seems to be that a woman need not wear abaya during Hajj, but she should wear fully covered loose fitting clothes. This was confirmed by a friend who sent me a photo of a fully covered woman, but not wearing abaya. So there is a place in KSA (viz, Hajj) where a woman need not wear abaya in public.
