What is the
proof that women have to cover their feet during prayer for prayer to be
accepted?
𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️
Praise be to Allaah.
The free woman
who has attained the age of majority is obliged to cover her entire body during
prayer, apart from her face and hands, because all of her is ‘awrah. If she
prays and any part of her ‘awrah becomes uncovered, such as a shin or foot or
all or part of her head, then her prayer is invalid, because the Prophet said:
"Allaah
will not accept the prayer of a woman who has started to menstruate, except
with a khimaar (covering)" (Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Maajah and
al-Tirmidhi, with a saheeh isnaad)
Abu Dawud
reported from Umm Salamah that she asked the Prophet about a woman who prayed
wearing a dir’ (chemise or upper garment) and a khimaar (head cover), but no
izaar (lower garment). He said: "The woman is ‘awrah."
As for the
face, the Sunnah is to uncover it during prayer, so long as no non-mahram men
are present. According to the majority of scholars, the feet must be covered;
some scholars allow uncovering the feet but the majority say the opposite. Abu
Dawud reported from Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that she was
asked about a woman who prayed in a khimaar and qamees (dress or gown). She
said, "There is nothing wrong with it if the dir’ (chemise) covers her
feet." In any case, it is better to cover the feet, to be on the safe
side. As far as the hands are concerned, there is more leeway: there is nothing
wrong with either covering them or uncovering them, although some scholars
think that it is better to cover them. And Allaah is the Source of strength.
