Why does Islam require women to wear an Abaya?

It is important to consider the practical reasons of wearing Abaya. The main purpose is to deflect attention. Women cannot wear tight clothes, flashing garments, or transparent Abaya even if they are covered. In addition, they are forbidden to stamp their feet because it will reveal what they hide of their adornment.
