Aisha reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The prayer of a menstruating woman is not accepted unless she wears a veil,” by which he meant an adult woman.
Al-Tirmidhi said, “This is acted upon by the people of knowledge, that when a woman prays and some of her hair is uncovered, her prayer is not permissible; it is the opinion of Al-Shafi’i. He said it is not permissible for a woman to pray if some of her body is uncovered. He also said that some say if her uncovered feet are shown, her prayer is permissible.”

Ibn Taymiyyah said, “As for covering that in prayer, it is not obligatory by consensus of the Muslims. Rather, it is permissible for her to uncover the face and hands in prayer according to the majority of scholars such as Abu Hanifa, Al-Shafi’i, and others including one of two narrations from Ahmad. Likewise, it is permissible for her to uncover the feet according to Abu Hanifa and this is the stronger opinion.”

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ تُقْبَلُ صَلاَةُ الْحَائِضِ إِلاَّ بِخِمَارٍ يَعْنِي الْمَرْأَةَ الْبَالِغَ
قال الترمذي وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا أَدْرَكَتْ فَصَلَّتْ وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ شَعْرِهَا مَكْشُوفٌ لَا تَجُوزُ صَلَاتُهَا وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ قَالَ لَا تَجُوزُ صَلَاةُ الْمَرْأَةِ وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ جَسَدِهَا مَكْشُوفٌ وَقَالَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ إِنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُ قَدَمَيْهَا مَكْشُوفًا فَصَلَاتُهَا جَائِزَةٌ
