How does a Muslim woman pray in her hijab?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does a Muslim woman pray in her hijab? Does she pull the hijab back to the hairline so that she prostrates on her entire forehead, or is the hijab in the middle of the forehead?

Answer:
She was in the presence of men who were not her mahram (relatives one may not marry), so she covered her face completely and prostrated from behind the hijab. No, there is no harm in that. She prostrates from behind the hijab. Having the hijab between her and the ground is fine. Yes.
