The Ruling on a Woman Praying with Her Feet Exposed

Question:
Many women pray with their feet exposed, and some people say to them, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Answer:
In any case, it must be known that covering the feet is obligatory according to the majority of scholars; because they are part of the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). Some scholars, such as Abu Hanifah and a group of others, hold that the feet are not part of the awrah. This is why some people adopt this view.
However, the correct view is that the awrah is only the face, and the hands are, most likely, not part of the awrah in prayer. As for her body, her head, and her entire body, including the feet, it is all awrah in prayer. This is the view of the majority of scholars. Some scholars, such as Abu Hanifah and a group of others, hold that the feet are not awrah, but a woman should cover them as well.

Question: We heard that a license for da'wah (calling others to Islam) will only be granted to those who hold a university degree?

Answer: Yes, a university degree, or having studied under scholars who vouch for him. Even if he does not have a university degree, if the scholars have vouched for him, and he knows how to speak, speaks well, and is trusted when asked to issue a fatwa (a scholarly legal ruling), there is nothing wrong with that.
