The questioner : Is it obligatory for a woman to cover her feet when praying in her home, given that no one or any strangers can see her?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for a woman in prayer to cover her feet and hands; indeed, she must cover her entire body except her face, unless there are non-mahram men around her, in which case it is obligatory for her to cover her face from the mahram men.
Some scholars said: A woman is not required to cover her hands and feet in prayer, and based on this, if she prays with her hands and feet uncovered, her prayer is valid.
