The ruling on a woman’s hair becoming visible during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if some of a woman’s hair becomes visible during prayer, is it obligatory for her to cover it, or may she leave it as it is?

Answer:
It is obligatory for her to cover it because it is part of her awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). If she leaves it uncovered and it is a large amount, her prayer is invalid, because one of the conditions for the validity of prayer is covering the awrah. A woman’s entire body is awrah in prayer, except her face, provided there are no men present. If some of her hair or body becomes visible and it is a large amount, and she leaves it uncovered, her prayer is invalid. Yes.
