7. She does not recite in aloud tone during salat . She recites in a

during Eid al-Adha . (Radd-ul-mukhtar, Tahtawi)
Question: It is written in the books Halabi and Radd-ul-mukhtar that
it is sunnat to bring the feet together when one is bowing for ruku .
Does this ruling apply to women as well?
ANSWER
No, women do not bring their feet together. It applies only to men.
Question: Sometimes my hair is accidentally uncovered during salat . I
cover it some time later. Does my salat become invalid?
ANSWER
Hair is awrah (the part to be covered) for a woman. If her awrah
partremains open for a time during which one can say" Subhanallah "
three times, her salat will become nullified. If she covers it
immediately by using one hand, her salat will not be nullified. It is
written in some fiqh books that her salat will be invalid if she
covers it by using both hands. For this reason, she should try to
cover it with one hand.
Question: Is it permissible for women to perform Salat az-Zuhr before
men exit the mosque after Salat al-Jumu'ah ?
ANSWER
Yes, they can perform it.
Question: If my hair remains open as long as one rukn , will my salat
become invalid? How long does a rukn continue?
ANSWER
The duration of a rukn is important in matters concerning a salat 's
becoming invalid and sajda-i sahw . Therefore, one should know it
well.
The fard s (obligatory elements) within salat aretermed a rukn each.
There are five rukns : qiyam (standing), qiraat (recitation from the
Qur'an al-karim), ruku (bowing), sujud (prostration), and sitting in
the final tashahhud .
If the hair of a woman is opened during any of these rukns , her salat
will be nullified if she cannot cover it in a time in which she can
recite one verse or say " Subhanallah " three times. The standard
duration for one rukn is to say " Subhanallah " three times at a
normal pace.
If a person, getting confused on how many rak'ats of salat he has
performed, thinks and thus extends one rukn by one additional rukn and
hence delays the next rukn for a time during which one can say "
Subhanallah " three times, he has to make sajda-i sahw , even if he
said some verses or tasbihat in the interim.
Question: Is it makruh if a woman's head covering moves downward on
her forehead when she is making prostration?
ANSWER
Yes, it is makruh . The forehead must touch the place of sajda nakedly.
Question: Physically able women perform salat sitting where it is
likely that non- mahram men will see them, such as on farms and in
mosques. Is it not fard (obligatory) to perform salat standing? Isit
permissible to perform it sitting lest non- mahram men see them?
ANSWER
It is not permissible. It is fard to perform a fard salat standing.
Only a sick person who cannot standis allowed to perform it sitting.
It is not permissible for women toperform salat sitting lest non-
mahram men see them. (Radd-ul-mukhtar, Hindiyya)
Question: Is it permissible for a woman to perform salat barefoot?
ANSWER

makruh to perform salat in a skirt with pictures?
ANSWER
Yes, it is makruh .
Question: I have heard from some people who work in the production of
lipstick and nail polish that they contain placenta. Is there anything
wrong with performing salat when a woman is wearing lipstick or nail
polish?
ANSWER
Nail polish does not let water reach the nails. Therefore, even if it
is not made from placenta, one's wudu will not be valid if one
performs it when having nail polish on one's nails.
Question: Will a woman's salat become nullified if her wig appears
under her headscarf?
ANSWER

braid.
