The ruling on a woman’s prayer when part of her forearm is exposed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: On one of the prayers, part of my wife’s forearm was exposed three times, and I was alerting her while she was in prayer, but she did not pay attention to what I said. After the prayer ended, I ordered her to repeat it, and I was strict with her about it. Was my action correct? And is her prayer valid? If she was ignorant.
Answer:
Her prayer is valid. However, if she knew that exposing part of her body in prayer invalidates it, but she left it be out of defiance or negligence, her prayer is invalid. Yes, because covering the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) is one of the conditions of prayer. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family.
