He was asked:
If some of a woman’s hair becomes visible during prayer, does this invalidate her prayer?
He replied:
If a small amount of her hair or body becomes uncovered, she need not repeat the prayer according to most scholars. This is the position of Abū Hanīfa and Ahmad. If a substantial amount becomes uncovered, she must repeat the prayer within its prescribed time according to the generality of scholars, including the four imams and others. And Allah knows best.
He was asked:
If a woman prays with the top of her foot uncovered, is her prayer valid?
He replied:
The scholars disagree on this. According to the school of Abū Hanīfa, her prayer is valid, and this is one of the two views.
وَسُئِلَ:
عَنْ الْمَرْأَةِ إذَا ظَهَرَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَعْرِهَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ هَلْ تَبْطُلُ صَلَاتُهَا أَمْ لَا؟
فَأَجَابَ:
إذَا انْكَشَفَ شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ مِنْ شَعْرِهَا وَبَدَنِهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهَا الْإِعَادَةُ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْهَبُ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ وَأَحْمَد، وَإِنْ انْكَشَفَ شَيْءٌ كَثِيرٌ أَعَادَتْ الصَّلَاةَ فِي الْوَقْتِ عِنْدَ عَامَّةِ الْعُلَمَاءِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
وَسُئِلَ:
عَنْ الْمَرْأَةِ إذَا صَلَّتْ وَظَاهِرُ قَدَمِهَا مَكْشُوفٌ، هَلْ تَصِحُّ صَلَاتُهَا؟
فَأَجَابَ:
هَذَا فِيهِ نِزَاعٌ بَيْنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَمَذْهَبُ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ صَلَاتُهَا جَائِزَةٌ وَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْقَوْلَيْنِ.
