The Ruling on Praying in Short Trousers Under the Garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Abu Muhammad, young men pray and wear garments, and under these garments they wear short trousers that do not extend past the middle of the thigh. What is the ruling on the prayer of these men?
Answer:
If the garments are covering and no skin is visible from behind them, from the navel and above, then the covering garments are sufficient, even if he is not wearing trousers. If the garment is covering, the trousers are not considered. However, if the garment is transparent and the trousers are short, exposing the knees, then his prayer is not valid, because covering the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) is a condition for the validity of the prayer.[Al-A'raf 7:31], meaning, cover your 'awrah in every prayer. Yes.
