Question: Are women's feet a part of their 'awrah ( عورة -that part of the body which is illegal to expose to others) and should women cover their feet?
Answer: Yes, she has to cover her feet and she has to cover everything from her body in salaah ( صلاة- prayer) except her face. If in salaah her feet become uncovered then it does not invalidate the Salaah because there is Ikhtilaaf ( الاختلاف -difference) in this affair. And some of the Fuqahaa' ( الفقهاء - jurists) have said if her feet become uncovered in Salaah then her Salaah does not become nullified but she has to be very protective of keeping them covered whilst in Salaah.
