:salam2: i wanted to know, when women are reading salah, is it necessary that she be covered completly? I mean arms be covered up to wrists, legs be covered up to ankles, and hair should obviously be totally covered---is taht all correct? In other words, does she need to be in complete hijab? And does all this apply at the time she is reading the quran as well? I read somewhere, that if while in salah, part of the arm or part of the leg becomes exposed, even for a few seconds, the salah will be invalid, and will have to be repeated, is this true?
