Question:
You mentioned that it is permissible for a person in ihram to wear only an izar. Is it valid for him to pray with nothing of it on his shoulder?
Answer:
The correct view is yes, there is no harm. The majority of scholars hold that there is no harm, except for Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), who says that one must cover one of his shoulders. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 769Sahih (Darussalam) is what Imam Ahmad adopted. As for the majority, they say this falls under the category of being disliked, not under the category of being forbidden. So it is permissible for him to pray with his shoulders exposed. Yes.
