Question

When a woman performs Salaat, does she have to cover her feet according to the Maaliki Math-hab?

Answer

According to the Hanafi Math-hab it is not compulsory for a woman to cover her feet from below the ankle. According to the Maaliki Math-hab it is compulsory. Her Salaat will not be valid if her feet are not covered according to the Maaliki Math-hab. Covering here refers to the upper part of the feet, not to the soles of the feet.
