Praying in tight pants or clothes that show the shape of the body does not invalidate the prayer, provided that the `Awrah is fully covered.

Prophet Muhammad preferred for women to pray in their houses and said that their reward for doing so is greater than their reward for praying in the mosque. If women need to pray in the marketplace and there is a place that is screened off, there is nothing wrong with them praying there. A woman’s prayer is not invalidated just because a man happens to see her.

The free woman who has attained the age of maturity is obliged to cover her entire body during prayer apart from her face and hands. According to the majority of scholars, the feet must be covered. However, some scholars allow uncovering the feet.

The status of prayer in Islam is indicated by the following: 1- Prayer is the pillar of the religion, which cannot stand without it; 2- Prayer is second in status to the Shahadatayn; 3- Prayer occupies a special position because of the way in which it was enjoined; 4- Allah erases sins by means of prayer; 5- Prayer is the last part of religion to be lost, and if it is lost, the whole religion is lost; and 6- Prayer is the first thing for which a person will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection.

Muslims scholars agreed that it is prohibited for a menstruating woman to pray, whether that is obligatory prayers or supererogatory. Based on this, if a woman does that she has to repent to Allah and to seek His forgiveness for what she did.
