Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from al-Qasim, Maha 'Abd Allah, says: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, about a woman praying while wearing a garment that covers her entire body, with nothing showing except her face, her hands, and the tips of her feet? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for the feet, it is not permissible for any part of them to be exposed, according to the consensus of the scholars. As for the face, it is permissible to uncover it by consensus, provided there are no non-mahram men present. As for the hands, there is scholarly disagreement regarding their exposure in prayer; covering them is more preferable and safer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
