Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Sulman says women need no longer wear full-length black robes as long as their dress is "decent and respectful".

Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia has reiterated comments made last month by a senior cleric, saying women no longer needed to wear headcoverings or full-length black robes, but should wear "decent and respectful" clothing of their choice.

The prince said there was nothing in sharia law stipulating the black Abaya.
