The ruling on a woman exposing her feet and legs in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, the second question. The second question asks about a woman praying with her foot or leg exposed, while she is able to cover it?
Answer:
Her prayer is not valid, because 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 non-mahram men present. If there are men present who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry), she covers even her face. Her entire body is 'awrah in prayer, so if any part of it is exposed and she leaves it uncovered, her prayer is invalid. Yes.
