Question
Please advise if it is compulsory for a woman to cover her head while eating. Some people say that if one does not cover one?s head while eating, then Shaitaan eats the food. Is this an Islamic belief?
Answer
It is advisable for a woman to cover her head at all times including the time during eating. There is no basis of the belief that Shaytan eats the food if a woman?s head is uncovered.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
