Sleeve style is one of the most practical decisions you’ll make when choosing a prayer jilbab, and it comes down to two options: with fitted elastic cuffs, or a looser open sleeve.
With Cuffs: Neat and Secure
With Cuffs styles close at the wrist with soft, fitted elastic. This keeps sleeves from riding up during sujood and gives extra coverage while making wudu — nothing to hold back or roll up.
Without Cuffs: Relaxed and Airy
Without Cuffs styles have an open, flowing sleeve for a more relaxed feel. Some women find this cooler in warm weather and easier to layer over other clothing.
Which Should You Choose?
If you value a tailored, secure fit during wudu and prayer, go With Cuffs. If you prefer maximum airflow and a looser drape, Without Cuffs is the better pick. Both are made from the same soft, breathable, non-see-through fabric.
