Is there any evidence for the obligation of a woman covering her feet in prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The free, accountable woman must cover her entire body during prayer, except for her face and hands; otherwise, her prayer is invalid. It is to uncover the face during prayer, unless there are non- men present. As for the feet, they must be covered according to the majority of scholars. However, the matter of the hands is more lenient.
