Women's Salaah

Women's satr exposed in salaah

3 years ago By user5

Q:

1. I now wear 2 khimars, 2 shalwars, 1 half-sleeve T-shirt underneath two kurtas, and a pair of gloves (and I try my best to tuck in the sleeves of the 2 kurtas into them) until the wrists because my clothes are thin and quite see-through. After wearing these clothes, I feel comfortable, Alhamdulillah, that the satr is not going to be seen.

My question now is that if a woman goes into sajdah and if she is wearing a see-through kurta (and no other shirt) and even though her khimar (which reaches almost until her knee cap when she is standing) still covers her body during sajdah by draping around it but does not cover the kurta itself such that if someone (like an angel or a jinn) were to watch her from below the ground, they would see the kurta uncovered by the khimar but someone standing on the ground could not see anything underneath the khimar at all. Does this invalidate the prayer?

2. If two limbs are exposed during Salaah, each less than a quarter of its whole area, how can a woman know if it invalidated her prayer? What is the length she can measure to?

3. If a woman wears shalwar (which kind of shows her figure but is not figure-hugging like tights), then is her Namaz valid?

Salaah for a woman whose water broke and is in labour

Q: I would like to know what is the ruling on this particular case:

1. When a pregnant woman's water has broken and she has a bloody show, is salaah that she did not make yet now need to be made up?

2. Women were also advising another pregnant woman that until the baby's head has partly come out, she must make salaah that is due at that time as well as if dilation has been checked she must make ghusl (if she needs to make salaah) as the nurse/doctor has put their fingers inside. What is the correct view?
