Question
When a woman is performing her Salaah in Ihraam, Niqaab might touch the face during Ruku and Sajda. What’s the ruling about that?
Answer
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If a woman’s Niqaab (face veil) touches her face during Salaah in the state of Ihraam, she should expend some charity (Sadaqah).[1]
The Salaah of such a woman will be valid.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
