Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, is a woman’s hand in prayer an awrah?

The Shaykh : She says: Is a woman’s hand in prayer an awrah?

The questioner : The palm. The back of the hand.

The Shaykh : The palm.

The questioner : Some scholars say it is an awrah, and some scholars say it is not an awrah. The precaution is for the woman to cover it. She says: If I want to hold the mushaf (a written copy of the Qur'an) and read from it, Honorable Shaykh, and the palm is exposed.

The Shaykh : There is no blame on her. There is no blame on her, praise be to Allah.
