Question

When performing Salaah, can my scarf touch the ground, or must it just not cover that part of my forehead that is supposed to touch the ground?

Answer

If a female covers her entire head with a non-transparent scarf in Salaat, that is sufficient. There is nothing wrong if some portion of the scarf touches the ground or covers the forehead.

Ask AskImam

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.
