Wearing socks to perform prayers

Question:

What about wearing socks in prayer for ladies?

The answer:

It is important to wear socks if she performs prayer in a place where others can see her. If she performs prayer in a special place for women or a place where no one sees her except her maharem (near relatives with whom it is unlawful for her to marry), it is allowed to perform prayer without socks. If she is in a family house, she must enter her room or enter a room and close the door so that no one sees her except her maharem, and she can perform prayer without socks.

As for going out of house, if clothes cover all the body and feet, there is no problem, but it is important not to show her feet because it isn't permissible for a woman to show anything from her body except face and hands. Islam orders woman to cover her feet. In virtuous ages women used to wear long clothes which covered feet and they didn’t have any problem as clothes covered 

everything.
