The \u201bawrah during the prayer is of three types:<\/h4>\n

For an adult woman: All her body is considered \u201bawrah except for the face and hands.<\/p>\n

For a small child: His \u201bawrah includes his private parts and the buttocks.<\/p>\n

For a man: His \u201bawrah is from the navel to the knees.<\/p>\n

As Allah \ufdfb says in the Qur\u2019an, \u201cChildren of Adam! Wear fine clothing for every prayer.\u201d (Soorat Al-A\u201braaf, 7:31) In fact, covering the intimate parts of the body is the minimum amount of clothing.<\/p>\n
