A Woman Wearing Socks When Praying

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman’s feet are part of her 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) in prayer, should she wear socks when praying for fear that they might become exposed during prostration?

Answer:
Yes, that is fine. A woman wearing socks provides complete covering. Yes.
