Performing salaah with tights or skinny jeans

Question

I have seen many women read salaah with tights or skinny jeans and they put a burqa over. The burqa ends around their knees and the rest of their legs are visible. Is the salaah valid?

Answer

If the clothing is body revealing then it is impermissible.
