Question:

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

The area between the chin and neck is ‘Awrah (i.e. from the navel to the knees for a man and the entire body for a woman) as the entire body of a woman should be concealed in prayer except for the face and hands. If any part of her limbs is exposed during prayer, it is recommended for her to repeat (the prayer) in its due time.

Allaah Knows best.
