A woman covering her feet in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it obligatory for a woman in her home to cover her feet completely in prayer?

Answer:
Yes, nothing of her should be exposed. If she is in the presence of men, nothing of her should be exposed. Even if she is not in the presence of men, she is only permitted to uncover her face if she is not in the presence of men. As for the rest of her body, she must cover it whether she is in the presence of men or not. Yes.
