The ruling on a woman covering her head during the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She asks and says: Is it obligatory for a woman to cover her head during the adhan? And is it not permissible for a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding to repeat the adhan? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The adhan itself does not obligate a woman to cover her head if there are no non-mahram men present. If there are men present who are not her mahram, she is required to veil herself and cover her head, face, hands, and the rest of her body from them, because it is an awrah (part of the body that must be covered) and a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), whether it is the time of the adhan or not. As for the adhan itself, it does not obligate a woman to cover her head if it is uncovered; rather, this applies in prayer. Covering the head and the rest of the body is required in prayer, except for the face if there are no non-mahram men present. In that case, she prays with her face uncovered, but she covers her entire body. If there are non-mahram men present, she covers her entire body, including her face. Yes.
