\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Molana Ishaaq Hussain<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWill prayer be accepted if a woman does not pray in her jilbab that covers body from head to toes (one piece garment). I pray in jilbab that starts from shoulders and then put a scarf on my head?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore moving on to the question, let us first understand what the meaning of jilbab is.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"The original word used by the Quran for 'shawls' is jilbab, which is a long sheet in which a woman gets to be hidden from the head to the feet. This has been reported by Sayyidna Abdullah ibn Abbas." (Ma'ariful Quran p.222 v.7)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"The entire body of a free woman is her awrah\/the part which must be covered ie satr except for her face and the palm of her two hands due to the words of the prophet \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu " a woman is a concealed awrah" (Narrated by Tirmizi 1173)" (Hidayah p.92 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"For the prayer to be correct it is not a condition to wear a specific clothing, but in fact ones prayer is complete with that clothing which covers the awrah." (Fatawa Uthmaani p.373 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe mother of Muhammad Ibn Kunfuz asked Ummul Mumineen Umme Salaamah \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu: In how many clothes can a woman pray salah in? She replied: In one head scarf and in one garment which is so long that the feet be hidden inside them." (Sunan Abu Dawud p.103 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is desirable for women that for Salah they adopt three types of clothing.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. Izaar i.e. trousers, lower garments etc.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. Kamees, upper garment, dress etc. .<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3. Headscarf. A garment which covers her entire head and shoulders. (Umdatul Fiqh p.61v.2)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith regards to your question if a woman prayed Salah in such a clothing which did not cover her awrah (head to feet) then her Salah would not be valid.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTherefore , a woman’s prayer is accepted in a jilbab (one piece garment which covers her awrah i.e. entire body),additionally, a woman’s prayer is also accepted without a jilbab, however she must adopt izaar, kamees, and a headscarf which are all loose fitted, not transparent and most importantly covers the awrah.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
