Question

1. Is it necessary for a lady to have her hair covered while sleeping, cooking and when in bed making zikr?

2. Can a lady read salaat with jeans?

Answer

1. In order to secure the company of the malaaikah she must cover her hair.

2. Clothes that are generally worn by fussaaq, people who are not serious about deen are very much resented.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
