The ruling on a woman covering her feet in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is prayer without socks not permissible, and is covering the feet obligatory in prayer or not?
Answer:
It is prescribed to cover them with socks or by letting the garments hang down. If she lets the garments hang down, the objective is achieved even if there are no socks; because it was reported in a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud from Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she was asked: Does a woman pray in a thobe and a head covering without a lower garment? She said: "If the thobe is long enough to cover the backs of her feet."
The majority hold that the feet are 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and that it is obligatory for her to cover them in prayer. The believing woman should cover her feet with socks or by letting the garments hang down. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
