The ruling on a woman praying in tight-fitting clothes if she is in her home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a woman prays in her home alone, is her prayer valid if she is wearing tight-fitting clothes?
Answer: If it covers her 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), there is nothing wrong with it. However, the best and the sunnah (recommended practice) is for her clothes to be moderate, neither tight nor very loose, but in between. But if she prays in tight-fitting clothes that cover her entire body except the face and hands, the prayer is valid. It is better to cover the hands, but if she does not cover them, there is no blame on her, if Allah wills, just as with the face, provided there is no non-mahram (a relative one may not marry) present.
In summary: Her prayer is valid, but she should get accustomed to wearing moderate clothing, which is neither very tight nor very loose, but in between. This is because tightness reveals the size of her limbs and the size of the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), so it is not befitting for a woman and is not appropriate for her. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
