A woman exposing her hands during prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the third question, she asks: Is it obligatory for a woman to expose her hands during prostration, meaning prostrating directly on the hands without a barrier?
Answer:
There is no blame; the correct view is that there is no blame. However, covering them is better. Only the face remains exposed, unless there is a non-mahram present, in which case she should also cover her face. If no one is present, covering the palms is better, and if she exposes them, it is valid. As for the feet, they are to be covered.
