Question:

Is it wrong for a female to leave her feet uncovered during the prayer?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The majority of the Muslim Scholars believe that a woman has to cover her feet during the prayer, based upon the sound Hadeeth ofUmm Salamah who asked the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ): 'Can a woman pray in a coat and a veil (Covering her head) but without a loincloth? He sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) replied: “If the coat is long enough to cover the top of her feet.”

Allah knows best.
