Can A Few Strands of Exposed Hair During Salah?

Both women and men are obliged to cover their nakedness (awra) during the prayer. The nakedness of a woman is all of her body except her face, hands and feet whilst the nakedness of a man is from his navel to his knees.

However, if a small part of one’s nakedness shows such as a few strands of hair, one’s prayer is not rendered invalid. Up to a quarter of a body part may show without the prayer being rendered invalid; beyond this, the prayer is invalid.
