Question:
What is the ruling on one who prays while exposing his shoulder while in the state of ihram?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. If he prays while exposing his shoulder, there is no harm. What is prescribed is to cover one of the shoulders. If he covers one of the shoulders, that is sufficient according to Imam Ahmad. According to the majority, there is no harm, even if he prays with both shoulders exposed. Yes.
