The Ruling on a Woman Praying in Her Nightgown
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a woman prays in clothes where her nightgown is visible, is her prayer invalid?
The Shaykh:
If she is covered, even with a nightgown, if she is covered, her prayer is valid. The entire body of a woman is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). If her body is covered and nothing is visible from her except her face, there is no harm; her prayer is valid, even if she has on nothing but pure nightclothes.
The presenter:
Allah.
The Shaykh:
Present.
