Salaah with a Long Dress

Q: Is it permissible for a lady to read salaah wearing a long dress without pants? Does the ground curse such a woman?

A: Salaah in such a manner is totally permissible. However, care should be taken that when making sujood or sitting that the legs are not uncovered in any way. There is no grounds for the curse of the ground. In one hadith Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) made dua of mercy for those ladies who wear pants under their dresses.
