Fathwa, - A Few Strands of Exposed Hair During Salah

Question:
Is it necessary for a woman to repeat her namaz if a strand of her
hair pokes out from under her covering, even if she did not notice it
until after she finished praying?
Answer:
Assalamu Alaykum
Both women and men are obliged to cover their nakedness (awra) during
the prayer. The nakedness of a woman isall of her body except her
face, hands and feet whilst the nakedness of aman is from his navel to
his knees.
However, if a small part of one�s nakedness shows such as a few
strands of hair, one�s prayer is not rendered invalid. Up to a quarter
of a body part may show without the prayer beingrendered invalid;
beyondthis, the prayer is invalid.
