If one’s private parts are exposed during prayer, is the prayer invalidated?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe. If one’s private parts are exposed or uncovered during prayer and he notices it.
The Shaykh : If it is a small amount, it does not harm. If it is a large amount and he covers it immediately, it does not harm either. For example, if the wind blows away his garment and he covers it immediately, there is no harm. However, if the time is prolonged or the exposed area is significant, then it is what he is required to do,
The questioner : He should renew it here.
The Shaykh : He should restart it. Yes.
