What is the ruling on the prayer of one who does not cover his shoulders?

Question:
What is the ruling on the prayer of one who does not cover his shoulders, whether he is among those in ihram who are draped, or one who wears transparent clothes with nothing underneath them? May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
His prayer is valid as long as he covers the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) between the navel and the knee. However, it is more complete and better that he also covers his shoulders, chest, and back. This is a more beautiful appearance and better. In fact, Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) holds that his prayer is not valid until he covers one of his shoulders. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): . But the majority hold that this is not obligatory; covering the awrah is sufficient. In any case, in the future, do not leave your chest, back, and shoulders exposed. Drape the garment over them, wrap the garment around yourself. This is more beautiful for your appearance and better, and it is a way to avoid the disagreement. Yes.
