Hair becoming exposed in Salaah

Question

What is the status of a female’s Salaah if her hair is exposed during Salaah?

Answer

If ¼ of the hair remains exposed during Salaah, then Salaah will be invalidated, otherwise not. In the queried scenario, only a few strands of hair were exposed hence the Salaah will be valid.
