Sunan Abi Dawud 640 (Book 2, Hadith 250) #20931
Praying with an Ample Shirt and Veil

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ allowed women to pray in a shirt and veil without wearing a lower garment, as long as the shirt is ample and covers the surface of her feet.

Umm Salamah said that she asked the prophet ; Can a woman pray in a shirt and veil without wearing a lower garment? He replied: if the shirt is ample and covers the surface of her feet. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Malik b. Anas, Bakr b. Mudar, Hafs b. Ghyath, Isma'il b. Ja'far, Ibn Abu Dhi'b, and Ibn Ishaq from Muhammad b. Zaid on the authority of his mother who narrated from Umm Salamah. None of these narrators mention the name of the Prophet . They reported it directly from Umm Salamah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ أَتُصَلِّي الْمَرْأَةُ فِي دِرْعٍ وَخِمَارٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ الدِّرْعُ سَابِغًا يُغَطِّي ظُهُورَ قَدَمَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَبَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ وَابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ قَصَرُوا بِهِ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رضى الله عنها

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how women should dress when they are praying to Allah SWT. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that it is permissible for women to pray in a shirt and veil without wearing a lower garment as long as the shirt is ample enough to cover their feet completely while they are praying. This shows us that modesty is important when we are worshipping Allah SWT; however it also shows us that we do not need to be overly strict with our clothing choices when we are praying so long as our clothing meets certain standards of modesty set by Islam. It also teaches us that even though there may be different opinions on certain matters within Islam, ultimately what matters most is following what has been taught by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself which was transmitted through his companions such as Umm Salamah in this case.
