What is the dress of a woman in prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, may Allah reward you with good. The third question.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This is the issue of a woman's dress in prayer. Some of the brothers asked you a question, and you told him... You asked a question: some women, when they get up from prostration, naturally they knead with their hands and stand up, and some of their arms become exposed.
The Shaykh : What do you do?
The questioner : Some of their arms become exposed.
The Shaykh : Before that, you said a word I did not understand.
The questioner : When a woman gets up from prostration to the next rak'ah, she does not get up kneading with her hands.
The Shaykh : She kneads, she says...
The questioner : Does she knead and get up the way the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to get up?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, I understand now. All right.
The questioner : So some women, their... becomes exposed...
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : So you told him it is an issue with two sides.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : If the garment is loose and there is an inner garment underneath that covers it, then this is not permissible; this action is not valid.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : But if the thing has an inner garment underneath, then it is valid. He was confused about the inner garment. So I told him, the inner garment can be a long garment with long sleeves. That is correct. What is meant by the inner garment?
The Shaykh : My brother, it is correct, but there is something more correct.
The questioner : Please go ahead.
The Shaykh : Do the women not wear what is called a qamis or a dishdashah?
The questioner: Yes
The Shaykh : It has sleeves.
The questioner: Yes
The Shaykh : These sleeves are either tight or wide.
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : If they are wide, more is exposed than if they were tight.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And therefore, we distinguish between the dishdashah or qamis having tight sleeves, in which case it does not harm her if something of her wrist or the lower part of her forearm appears.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And she is standing up. But if the sleeve is wide, widening the sleeve for women is not something that should be done. In this case, she must take a covering.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you,
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
