Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there a hadith ... regarding women covering their entire bodies ... because the angels do not gather with those who are like them, with their bodies uncovered?
The Shaykh : There is absolutely no such hadith.
The questioner : What is the ruling on a woman covering her hair when reciting the Qur'an?
The Shaykh : There is nothing that obligates her to cover it either. Rather, the general meaning of Allah the Exalted's statement in the Qur'an[Ali 'Imran 3:191] indicates the permissibility of a Muslim man or woman mentioning Allah in any state, except where there is a specific prohibition. For example, it is not permissible for a Muslim to mention Allah while in the restroom relieving himself. However, if a woman is not covering her face or the top of her head, there is nothing in the Shari'ah that prevents this.
