Should women cover their feet while performing salaah?
Question
My question is that when women cover their body's while praying, should they cover their feet as well while praying or not? I heard in a talk that they should wear socks while praying.
Answer
It is not compulsory.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
