Gotta question

[Muslim_Gurl]

:salam2:

I hope everyone is well. (What a bad way to start ) ANYWAYZZ... I just have a quick question. Do sisters need to cover the feet when praying? Thn*!*!*!x

 

[Hard Rock Moslem]

Yes, according to Imam Shafee rahmatullah. But I'm aware there are differences of opinion as far as I know.

 

[sister myriam]

assalamu 3alaikom

a woman can show only her hands and face ....this is in salah and out side...

 

[ShyHijabi]

Tha hanifi mahtab states that the feet are not part of the awra, so they can be uncovered. This is an interpretation of "what is apparent thereof" in the Qu'ran. So basically it depends on which mahtab you follow.

 

[munawarah]

i have been thinking about this mas'ala also, jazakillah shyhijabi for answering.

 

[AyeshaL]

Salaams,

I dont cover my feet when praying but I know that some people do. Does anyone have a reference that guides us either way?

JzkAllah

Assalamu Allaicum

I cover my feet while praying,and offcourse I cover than too when I am going out of home Alhmadulillah.

Dear sister Shyhijabi,cover feet are part of full hijab so our feet must be covered too according the Sunnah of our Prophet s.a.w.s.

And Allah knows the best,

 

[ahmed_indian]

in Shafi school, you have to cover.

in Hanafi school, you need not cover.

And humble request to all bro's and sis's that anybody pls dont point any finger on any of those scholars (may Allah's mercy on them all).

they were all Mujtahid. their decisions were based on Quran and sunnah and sahaba (ra) opinions. if they were right, they get 2 rewards and if wrong, one reward.

i m saying this bcoz it happened before that some of us did not maintain our respect for them when this matter was discussed.

 

[AyeshaL]

Does anyone have a reference please?

 

[Safiyah_]

salaam

I heard that you don't HAVE to cover your feet but u have to cover ur heals..
But i also noticed that when i go to mosque everyone has covered feet =) so maybe it's better when u do..

:salam2:

the brothers have to have their garments/pants above their ankle, because if its lower than that its like pride. so isnt there a hadith that one of the women asked the prophet peace and blessings upon him, what about the women? and then the prophet peace and blessings upon him said, and they also, and then she said, but that will show the feet of the women, then the he (prophet) said, ok, make it an arms length (or something like that) further, but no more than that. i might be saying this wrongly, if anyone knows the hadith, feel free to post it. also for covering the feet, it is said that it depends on which mazhab your following.

Ruling concerning women covering their feet in prayer

What is the proof that women have to cover their feet during prayer for prayer to be accepted?

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.
