Is it permissible for a woman to expose the soles of her feet during prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to expose the soles of her feet during prayer?

Answer:
No, a woman’s clothing for prayer differs from her clothing outside of prayer. Her clothing for prayer must cover her entire body, except for her face, if there are no non-mahram men present, meaning men who are not her close relatives. If there are no non-mahram men present, she exposes her face during prayer. If there are women present, or if there are men who are her mahram, she exposes only her face during prayer, and she covers the rest of her body. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
