Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A group of women enter this mosque and other mosques to attend a lesson, but they do not remove their niqab during the entire lesson, and they also pray while wearing the niqab, even though the place is entirely women. The woman says: We do not know whether they are women or men. Is their prayer valid while wearing the niqab, and what is obligatory in this matter?
Answer:
Their prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah, whether they are wearing the niqab or not; their prayer is valid. Yes.
