The Ruling on Praying in Trousers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the opinion, may Allah preserve you, regarding a man praying in trousers? Is it permissible?

Answer:
As long as it covers his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), his prayer in it is permissible. However, it is better for him to pray in a loose garment, because the trousers may be tight, preventing him from sitting in the prescribed manner, or causing him discomfort during ruku' (the bowing of prayer) or sujud (prostration). Therefore, it is better to pray in a loose garment. As for the validity and correctness of the prayer, his prayer is valid as long as it covers his 'awrah. Yes.
