Does prayer become invalid by bending over to cover an exposed foot during prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You were correct in covering your foot after it became uncovered during prayer. Your prayer is valid, and you do not need to repeat it, because the uncovering was unintentional and you covered it immediately. The bending that occurred from you is considered a minor action that does not invalidate the prayer.
