A woman covering her face and hands in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A message from the Arab Republic of Egypt, signed by one of the sisters. The sender is Palestinian from the North Sinai Governorate. She asks a collection of questions, one of which is: Is wearing socks in prayer obligatory or not?
Answer:
What is required of a woman is to cover her body, including the hands and feet and the rest of the body, except for the face. If there are no non-mahram men present, she uncovers her face. If there are non-mahram men present, she covers her entire body, including her face, because it is an awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in the presence of non-mahram men. She covers her hands with a garment, an abaya, or socks; the important thing is that she covers her hands with any covering. Yes.
