What if she is only with mahrams/ other women?","answer":"As per the Shafi school of law, it is permissible for a woman to pray in tight clothing, but it is considered disliked. However, this is also discouraged for men. In the presence of her mahrams and other Muslim women, a woman is required to cover her awrah, and the specific parts of the awrah that need to be covered may vary. In front of mahrams and Muslim women, a woman's awrah includes everything between the navel and the knee. On the other hand, in front of non-Muslim women, a woman's entire body except for the parts that are typically exposed during work, such as the head, neck, arms (up to the shoulders), and legs (up to the knees) should be covered. Regardless of the situation, whenever a woman is in the presence of other people, whether during prayer or otherwise, she must cover her awrah with clothing that is not transparent and loose enough to not reveal the shape of her limbs.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232985","tag":"Salah: Validity","count":156},{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232779","tag":"Women: Modesty","count":60},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327b5","tag":"Men: Modesty","count":37}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:22.059Z"}
