The answer

There is no harm for a woman to uncover her hair in front of her mahrams (unmarriageable kin) and other women, or when she is alone in her home. This is agreed upon among scholars. The claim that Satan tampers with a woman's hair if she uncovers it in her home is false and has no basis. A woman may uncover her hair even if the muezzin is calling the , provided no non- men see her. However, during prayer, she must cover her entire body except for her face, and it is more cautious to also cover her hands and feet.
