Description of Burqah required for Salaah
Question
What kind of a Burqah should be worn by women in Salaah? If the colour of the skin beneath the Burqah cannot be seen, will it suffice?
Answer
The Burqah must be so dark that one is unable to discern or describe anything that is beneath the Burqah. Not being able to see the colour/complexion of the skin will not suffice.

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