Question

If a female has her hands covered during salaah, eg kept underneath her burqah/hijaab ( one that is long) will her salaah be invalid?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

If the hands are covered for the entire duration of the Salaah, the Salaah is valid.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
