Question
As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. If During zuhr and asr there is a lot of light coming from the windows . Even if one covers them with curtains , and stands , the shape of the legs can be seen . So the person used to turn on the lights , but even then when prostating , a shape of legs should be seen , so the person stopped using the lights , as her mother , ones closed them and scolded , as she thought it was carelessness , she didn't knew the reason ,and if told , she will take stress , thinking the person is going mad. So the person started praying in another room , but the same thing happened during prostration , but when during sajdah , the there is also hijab , if we remove the hijab and the piece of cloth that folds during sajdah , only then the person can see the shape of leg . The person also tried to see if the shape of legs could be seen , from behind where the light is coming during sajdah but couldn't see it . If that person covered the part where the light is coming from , but then during prayer someone takes it off , as they are not told the reason and if told the person thinks , she is gonna get scold . Should the prayer be repeated, when her mother is not there . But she is not certain that her prayer would end before her mother comes , as she takes a lot of time prayering , should she tell her mother to be in the room and rest while she oarys in another . What if that idea didn't came at that time .. What should this sister do ? Thank you .
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,
If the body is properly covered according to the rules of satr during prayer, and only a faint shape or shadow of the legs appears due to light, then the prayer does not become invalid. In Islamic law, the main consideration is that the body is covered with clothing and the skin is not visible.
Therefore, in this situation the prayer is valid and it is not necessary to repeat it. Such doubts and whispers should be ignored, and the prayer should be performed calmly and normally.
