Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, I ask you, may Allah reward you, regarding the statement of the author (may Allah have mercy on him), "And the one who has garments is more deserving of leading than the one who has the opposite." Do you know what this means?
Answer:
It means that having more than one garment. Having one garment means only an izar (waist cloth). Having one garment means the izar. As for having garments, meaning he has an izar and a rida (upper garment), does this mean that having an izar and a rida is better for leading the prayer than the one who has only an izar? Yes.
