Does prayer become invalid when torn clothing is covered by an abaya?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the abaya is thick enough that the color of the skin cannot be seen through it, then the prayer is valid, even if the garment underneath does not cover the entire body. What is required for a woman's prayer attire is that it be thick, not revealing the color of the skin. However, revealing the size of the limbs is permissible.
