What a woman covers of her body in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. You are asking about the clothing a woman wears during her prayer, and whether she is required to cover her hands and feet? And if she does not do so, is her prayer complete or deficient? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The entire body of a woman is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) in prayer, except her face, if there are no men present who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry). If there are men present who are not her mahram, then she covers her entire body, including her face, because it is 'awrah in the presence of unrelated men. The rest of her body is 'awrah in prayer, so she covers her entire body, including her hands and feet, and nothing of her is exposed except her face, if there are no men present who are not her mahram. Yes.
