Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner from Libya, S.M., says in this last question: What is the ruling on hair showing from behind the head covering in prayer, even though we know that going out with it outside the home is forbidden, but what is its ruling in prayer? May you be rewarded.
The Shaykh : The hair?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) stated that a woman is an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in prayer except for her face, and that it is obligatory for an adult free woman to cover her entire body in prayer except for her face. Based on this opinion, if any of her hair, meaning the hair of her head, comes out, she must cover it immediately, because the hair of the head is an appendage of the head, and the head must be covered, so the hair must also be covered because it follows it. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
O dear listening brothers, he has answered.
