When performing Salaah, can my scarf touch the ground, or must it just not cover that part of my forehead that is supposed to touch the ground?

Question

When performing Salaah, can my scarf touch the ground, or must it just not cover that part of my forehead that is supposed to touch the ground?

Answer

If a female covers her entire head with a non-transparent scarf in Salaat, that is sufficient. There is nothing wrong if some portion of the scarf touches the ground or covers the forehead.
