Female having feet uncovered during prayer Fatwa No: 81924
- Fatwa Date:9-6-2000
Is it wrong for a female to leave her feet uncovered during the prayer?
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
The majority of the Muslim Scholars believe that a woman has to cover her feet during the prayer, based upon the sound Hadeeth ofUmm Salamah who asked the Prophet : 'Can a woman pray in a coat and a veil (Covering her head) but without a loincloth? He replied: “If the coat is long enough to cover the top of her feet.”
Allah knows best.
