The ruling on covering the feet of a woman in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the questions of the questioner from Yemen, she says: O His Eminence the Shaykh: When I pray, I do not cover the tips of my feet. What is the ruling in this? Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
It is obligatory to cover the feet, which is the view held by the majority of the scholars regarding the obligation of covering the feet. So you must cover them. As for the past, we ask Allah to forgive you. But in the future, you must cover your feet with stockings, socks, or a long garment so that the feet are covered, as in the hadith of Umm Salamah when she was asked, and it was narrated as marfu': "Does a woman pray in a thobe and a khimar?" She said: "If the thobe is long enough to cover the soles of her feet." Yes.
