Woman covering the feet in salaah

Question

Is not covering the feet below the ankles for woman against sunnah? I have severe waswasa and I found out that except for Hanafi's, others consider the feet as awrah. Are my prayers invalid as I didn't cover it after knowing about the ruling. Why do Hanafi's not consider the feet as awrah. I feel scared that my namaz isn't valid. What should I do?

Answer

According to the preferred opinion, the feet of women is not aurah. Hence, all the salaah you performed with your feet exposed are valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
