Is there a hadith regarding a woman covering her entire body? And is it permissible for a woman to recite the Qur'an while her hair is uncovered?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there a hadith specifically about women covering their entire bodies in their homes? Because the angels do not... those who are like them, with their hair uncovered?
The Shaykh : There is no such hadith at all.
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 His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) 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. As for a woman not covering her face or the top of her head, there is nothing in the Shari'ah that prevents this.
The Shaykh : There is no such hadith at all.
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 His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) in the Qur'an:
Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides
الذين يذكرون الله قيامًا وقعودًا وعلى جنوبهم
