Performing salaah with clothes that reveal the shape of the body
Question
If a woman performs salah with 3/4 length trousers and then tights under them, wherein no part of her leg is visible, is her salah valid?
Answer
For the salaah to be valid the clothing that she is wearing must not only cover the body, but it must not reveal the shape of her body.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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