The ruling on a woman raising her hands in prayer if it results in part of her body being exposed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I wear a wide cloak that covers my head and hands together in prayer. However, when I say the takbir of ihram or one of the other takbirs, this cloak rises with the raising of my hands for the takbir and covers half of my face. After I lower my hands from the takbir, it returns to its normal position. Does this affect the prayer?
Answer:
If raising the hands results in the garment rising and the feet or some part of the woman’s body being exposed, then this is not permissible. Raising the hands at the takbir of ihram, or at the ruku', or when rising from the ruku' is a recommended practice (sunnah). If it results in a prohibited matter, such as part of the woman’s body being exposed, then she does not raise her hands. Rather, she raises her hands if the covering is ample over her body. Yes.
