Is it permissible to uncover the wrists during prayer, or are they considered 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman's 'awrah (parts that must be covered) during prayer is her entire body except for her face and hands. The limit of the hand is from the fingertips to the wrist. Exposing the wrist is no different from exposing the hand.
