    There is difference of opinion on the feet of a woman inside and outside of Salah in the Hanafi Madhab, First that it is inside and outside this opinion was presented as the madhhab of Abu Hanifah by al-Quduri, and is also espoused by al-Jassas in Ahkam al-Qur'an and by Qadi-Khan. Similarly, in Sharh al-Aqta` , it is stated, "The authentic [opinion] is that it is `awrah, from the apparent [implication] of the narration." [See al-Bunayah , vol. II, p. 63] Of the latter Hanafi scholars, al-Ghunaymi has inclined towards this view in al-Lubab . The feet are also considered nakedness by Imams Malik, al-Shafi`i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. The other opinion is that it is not, inside or outside Salah, this is the most common opinion, and the 3rd opinion is that it is outside Salah but not inside, Ibn `Abidin reported this as one of the authentic views in Radd al-Muhtar .

    In Noor ul Irfan tafsir of Hakim ul Ummat Rahmatullah Alayh underوَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا, اور اپنا بناؤ نہ دکھائیں مگر جتنا خود ہی ظاہر ہے , and not to reveal their adornment except what is apparent, they write:

    تفسیر احمدی اور خزائن عرفان میں فرمایا کہ یہ حکم نماز کا ہے یعنی نماز میں عورت چہرہ اور مونہ کلائی سے نیچے ہاتھ ، ٹخنے سے نیچے پاؤں ڈھکنے کی پابند نہیں۔ اس کا مطلب یہ نہیں کہ یہ اعضاء اجنبی مردوں کو دکھائے ، رب تعالیٰ فرماتے ہے۔ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ جب تم نبی کی ازواج سے کچھ سامان مانگو تو پردہ کے پیچھے سے مانگو۔ خلاصہ یہ ہے کہ مذکورہ بالا تین عضو ستر عورت نہیں۔ ان کا چھپانا فرض نہیں مگر اجنبی کو دکھانا حرام ہے۔ خیال رہے کہ یہاں زینت سے مراد زینت کی جگہ ہے جیسے سر جھومر کی جگہ ہے اور ہاتھ گنگن کی اور پاؤں پازیب اور جھانجن کی۔ ناک بلاق کی ، کان بالی پہننے کی جگہ ہے۔

    It is stated in Tafseer Ahmadi and Tafseer Khazain ul Irfaan that this command is regarding Salah, i.e. in Salah a woman is not required to cover her face, hands from beneath the wrists, feet from beneath the ankles. This does not mean that she should reveal this before non Mahram men, Allah Tala states: "And when you ask the wives of the Prophet for anything to use, ask for it from behind a curtain." The truth of the matter is that these three parts of the body are not included under Satr-e-Aurat, i.e, parts obligatory to conceal. However, it is Haraam to reveal these to non Mahram men. It should be kept in mind that the word "adornment" here refers to the places of adornment, i.e. the head is the place of the forehead jewellery, and the hand, of bangles, and feet, of anklets, the nose, of the nose ring, the ear is the place where the earring is worn.

    Are ankles part of a woman's awrah?

    What about the wrists?
