The questioner:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to turn her cloak in the prayer for rain, or is this specific to men?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for a woman to turn her cloak because it is part of her awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) and she is required to cover it. This is specific to men, specific to men, because if they turn their cloaks, there is no harm resulting from it. But if a woman turns her cloak, there is a harm resulting from it, which is that she may become exposed. Yes.
The questioner:
And if she is in a straight place.
The Shaykh:
Even if she were, because this is something that has not been reported regarding women. Yes.
