Shabbos 6:6-7

Shabbos 6:6

A woman may go out on Shabbos with a coin on a foot wound (as treatment). Young girls may go out with threads or chips in their ears (to keep their piercings from closing up). In Arab countries, women may go out veiled and in Medea they may go out with their cloaks clasped. Actually, anyone may go out in these ways but these were the standards of dress in those places, so that’s how the Sages phrased things.

Shabbos 6:7

The woman may tie a stone, nut or coin to her cloak for use as the clasp, though the coin may not be attached on Shabbos.
