Alikom Assalaam .

Al Hamdlillah.

A hadeeth was narrated by Abu Dawood, may Allaah have mercy on him, in al-Sunan, from Umm Salamah who said: �When the aayah �� to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies�� [al-Ahzaab 33:59 � interpretation of the meaning] was revealed, the women of the Ansaar came out looking as if there were crows on their heads, because of their clothing
The author of �Awn al-Ma�bood fi Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood said, commenting on this phrase: �Their veils were likened to crows because of their black colour.�
However, it is not a condition of hijaab that the clothes should be black.
And Allah Knows Best.
