Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. After this, a message reached the program from one of our sisters. She says: Your sister Nun Alif from Riyadh asks and says: What is the ruling on a woman’s hands being visible during prayer?
Answer:
Many scholars hold that a woman’s hands in prayer are part of her awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and it is obligatory for her to cover them along with the rest of her body. She is only permitted to uncover her face if there are no non-mahram (a relative one may not marry) men present. However, if there are non-mahram men present, she must cover her entire body in prayer and outside of prayer, including her face. Yes.
