No, wearing a specific garment like jilbab or abaya is not obligatory; the obligation is to cover the Aura in a non-transparent, loose-fitting garment. hijab, aura, clothing, obligation, modesty, women https://www.youtube.com/shorts/55UDfpzonDc
So, no, it's not obligatory. What is obligatory is covering the Aura in an appropriate manner. So that means, number one, that the entire Aura is covered. Number two, that it's not transparent. And number three, that it's not figure-hugging. And whatever clothes you wear that contains these conditions.
