The ruling on a woman covering herself during prostration of recitation

Question:
Is it obligatory for a woman to cover herself during prostration of recitation, and if the recitation is outside of prayer, what is the ruling?

Answer:
She prostrates, and there is no need for a veil if there is no non-mahram present. She prostrates just as she prostrates in prayer when she reads a verse of prostration. She prostrates in her home, in her obligatory prayer, and in voluntary prayer, just like a man. There is no need for a veil, a veil for the face, but she should cover her body as in prayer; this is the best. Otherwise, prostration of recitation is not prayer. However, if she is in prayer, she must cover herself. She covers her hair and her entire body except her face, and there is disagreement regarding the hands, but covering them is preferable.
As for the rest of the body, she covers it in prayer: she covers her hair, her body, and her feet. Prostration of recitation in prayer is of the same kind as prayer; some of the prayer requires covering the body.
As for prostration of recitation outside of prayer, the matter is more lenient. If she prostrates and does not cover her head, or does not cover her feet, her prostration is valid. This is because prostration of recitation outside of prayer is not prayer. Likewise, prostration of gratitude is merely submission to Allah and does not have the ruling of prayer. If a reciter reads outside of prayer while not in a state of ritual purity, it is recommended for him to prostrate. Likewise, if a woman reads outside of prayer while not in a state of ritual purity, she may prostrate. It is recommended for her to perform prostration of recitation. Yes, because it does not have the ruling of prayer, according to the correct opinion. Yes.
