Does a woman's prayer become invalid if she does not cover her feet?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is this a defect in the condition of covering in her prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the stronger position, but if the sole of her foot becomes visible
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : during prostration, for example, there is nothing wrong with that. However, if she is standing, it is necessary to follow the evidence we mentioned; it is necessary that her feet be covered. Yes.
The questioner : If it becomes visible, Shaykh, I mean, without intention?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : If it becomes visible without her intention?
The Shaykh : Of course, when the prostrator prostrates, the sole of the foot necessarily becomes visible. The important thing is that her garment covers her feet. So even if something of the top of her feet appears without her intention, that is excused. So a fortiori, the sole of her feet appearing is excused.
The questioner : But if the top of her feet appears, Shaykh, excuse me, should she not use socks?
The Shaykh : Why? Is her garment short?
The questioner : No, it is not short?
The Shaykh : Then is there anything else?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the stronger position, but if the sole of her foot becomes visible
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : during prostration, for example, there is nothing wrong with that. However, if she is standing, it is necessary to follow the evidence we mentioned; it is necessary that her feet be covered. Yes.
