What is the ruling on someone who prayed while part of her hair and part of her abdomen were uncovered?
Answer
She must gather the scattered exposure of the private parts; for example, if one-sixth of her hair is exposed, one-sixth of her belly, and one-sixth of her thigh, they are combined. If this amounts to a quarter of any of these body parts, it would invalidate the prayer; otherwise, it does not. Refer to: Maraqi al-Falah p. 210-211, Al-Wiqayah and its explanation by Sadr al-Shari'ah 1: 143, Radd al-Muhtar 1: 408, Bada'i al-Sana'i 1: 117, and Al-Hadiyyah al-Alaiyyah p. 72.
