Dought & clear, - Conditions for Prayer, - Woman praying in a single garment.

For offering salaat(namaz), is it compulsory for the woman to cover
herself in two garments ,such as a pant for the lower half and a shirt
for the upperhalf or can she wear only one garment covering the body
as per Islamic code of dressing. Please enlighten me.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Muslim woman must cover her entire body when praying, apart from
her face, because her whole body is 'awrah during prayer. According to
the hadeeth, "Allaah does not accept the prayer of a woman who is of
child-bearing age unless (she is covered) with a khimaar." The cover
must be ample and cover all the body, and it must be loose so that it
does not show the shape of the body. It is sufficient for it to be one
garment if it covers the body. As for the ruling on wearing pants or
trousers, please see question no. 5066، 10436and 21438.

We should point out here that there is no specific dress that is
required for the Muslim woman to pray and that her prayer is invalid
if she prays in any other garment, as many women in some Muslim
societies think. Rather the ruling has to do with covering, so if she
is covered properly, then her prayer is valid.
