Is Covering The Feet Mandatory For Women? Is The Feet Awrah?
But Umm Salama didn’t say only she felt uncomfortable, she said on behalf of all women that their feet will be uncovered. And the Prophet PBUH could have told her that she can cover more if she wanted to but it’s not a rule for every woman, instead he replied to her question which was on behalf of every woman meaning he addressed every woman, right?
Still, it is her preference for things. Women did not ask her to ask these questions. She was satisfying her preference. The directives do not come from Hadith. These are the applications of a rule which is given in the Quran or in the Established Sunnah.
