What is a woman required to cover in prayer?

Question:
What must be covered in prayer for a woman? Is it obligatory to cover the hands during prayer? And if part of the foot is exposed, does the prayer become invalid for a woman?

Answer:
The entire body of a woman is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and it is obligatory for her to cover herself in obligatory and voluntary prayers, except for the face, which she should uncover. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) to uncover the face if there is no non-mahram (relative one may not marry) present; she should uncover her face in prayer. As for the rest of her body, she must cover it, except for the hands; covering them is recommended, and if she uncovers them, there is no blame on her according to the correct opinion. As for the face, uncovering it is a recommended practice in prayer if there is no non-mahram present. This applies to both obligatory and voluntary prayers if she is of age and has reached puberty. If something of hers is exposed, such as her foot or a part of her foot, if it is a large amount, she must repeat the prayer according to the majority of scholars. However, if it is a small amount and she then covers it, it is excused, if Allah wills.
