Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question from a woman who says: Some of the sisters pray wearing pants under their abaya. Is this practice acceptable? Leaving off the pants
Answer:
is preferable, and she should wear the clothing of her people and community, and she must cover her entire body, including her face if there are non-mahram men present. However, if she is among women, there is no harm in uncovering her face; the sunnah (recommended practice) is to uncover the face, and she should dress in the customary attire that her community is accustomed to wearing.
