Description of Burqah required for Salaah

Mar 18, 2022 | Appearance And Attire

Question:-

What kind of a Burqah should be worn by women in Salaah? If the colour of the skin beneath the Burqah cannot be seen, will it suffice?

Answer:-

The Burqah must be so dark that one is unable to discern or describe anything that is beneath the Burqah. Not being able to see the colour/complexion of the skin will not suffice.
