Women's Salaah

Q: A woman who follows the hanafi school, if she doesn't cover her feet in salaah, will the salaah be valid?

Q: A woman is at some public place (e.g park, bazar, airport) and she has to offer fardh salaah. What will be the correct method:

1. Offer salaah with qiyaam

2. Offer salaah while sitting (omitting qiyaam due to the presence of na mahrams around)

3. Offer first rakaat with qiyaam, while the rest of the rakaats sitting.

Q: Is it permissible for a woman to read salaah with her purdah on?

Q: Is it permissible for a female to read salaah audibly in her home where there is no chance of a non-mahram hearing her?

Does the ruling differ with fard, nafl and sunnah?

Q: According to the Hanafi mazhab, females are supposed to be close to the ground during sajdah and should therefore put their elbows on the ground. But there is a Hadith in which Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) says that doing so is imitating dogs. Maybe that hadith was meant only for men, but just to be on the safe side, am I allowed to raise my elbows off the ground?

Q: If a husband and wife are reading salaah at home in the same room but separately, is it necessary for the wife to read behind the husband or can the wife read in front of the husband even if it is on one side?

Q: How long should a woman's abaya be? If a women's abaaya is so long that it touches the floor, will her namaz with such an abaaya be accepted because she may go out in these long abayas to malls and outside the home and we do not know if the places where our abaayas touch is paak.

Q: If a woman's ankles get exposed while performing salaah, will her salaah break? Also, how much of the leg being exposed breaks the salaah? 

Q:

1. When I tie a scarf around my head to pray, it sometimes moves or my hair can be seen through the material or my shoulder or neck can be seen through as it is slightly (not very) see through because of this I feel my prayer has been invalidated. Is this true? I of course wear clothes under the scarf but if the scarf is slightly see through, will this invalidate my namaz?

2. All the namaz I have been reading with this scarf, so if my namaz is invalid, would this mean my nikah would be invalidated?

Q: If a female offers her qiraat silently in salaah but does it in a whispering way, is her salaah valid?
