Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question from a woman who says: Some of the sisters pray in trousers under the abaya. Is this action valid?
Answer:
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 and there is no non-mahram man present, there is nothing wrong with uncovering her face; it is the recommended practice (sunnah) to uncover her face, and her covering should be with the customary clothing that her community is accustomed to wearing. Yes.
