Question
Is it permissible for a woman to walk at home without socks when there is a stranger in the house (since the custom at home is to walk without socks)?
Answer
Hello,
In our times, modest women cover their legs with socks, therefore it is obligatory to wear socks in the presence of a stranger, even at home.
