Ruling on a woman’s hair being exposed during prayer without her knowledge?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman discovered after finishing the obligatory prayer that she had not covered all of her hair, ... after finishing the prayer she discovered that her hair was exposed, so what is the ruling?
The Shaykh : If it is her custom to cover all of her hair, then her prayer is valid, based on the saying of Allah, the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. However, if that is not her custom and it was merely negligence on her part, then she must repeat her prayer.
The questioner : Naturally, if she discovers during the prayer that one of her hands is exposed, or her hair, meaning the awrah, she naturally leaves it and completes her prayer.
The Shaykh: Of course.
The Shaykh : If it is her custom to cover all of her hair, then her prayer is valid, based on the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاThe questioner : Naturally, if she discovers during the prayer that one of her hands is exposed, or her hair, meaning the awrah, she naturally leaves it and completes her prayer.
The Shaykh: Of course.
