Question

When performing Salaah, can my scarf touch the ground, or must it just not cover that part of my forehead that is supposed to touch the ground?

Answer

If a female covers her entire head with a non-transparent scarf in Salaat, that is sufficient. There is nothing wrong if some portion of the scarf touches the ground or covers the forehead.
