Question:-
Can women perform Salaah with short sleeves? The Burqah will be covering the arm.
Answer:-
If a lady performs Salaah wearing short sleeves, then her Salaah will be valid on proviso that the Burqah is of thick material and covers the hands. However, if the Burqah is so thin that one can see through it and the hands are therefore exposed then the Salaah will not be valid. Although the above ruling is applicable, one should dress appropriately with long sleeve clothing and stand before Allah Ta’ala in Salaah.
