Question
If a female has her hands covered during salaah, eg kept underneath her burqah/hijaab ( one that is long) will her salaah be invalid?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
If the hands are covered for the entire duration of the Salaah, the Salaah is valid.
And Allah knows best
