Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is it permissible to pray in short trousers and a light garment that exposes part of the 'awrah? There is no reason for the 'awrah to be exposed in prayer.
Answer:
One of the conditions for the validity of the prayer is covering the 'awrah, provided one is able to do so. Covering it means covering it from the gaze of people, covering it from the gaze of people. It must not be short such that part of the 'awrah is exposed, and it must not be transparent such that the color of the skin is seen through it. This is not permissible. Whoever prays in this state or with this covering, his prayer is not valid. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:31] meaning, cover your 'awrah in every prayer. Covering the 'awrah is obligatory and a condition for the validity of the prayer, provided one is able to do so. Yes.
