Placing the ends of the shemagh on the shoulder in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the people praying place the ends of their shemagh on their shoulders. Does this affect the perfection of the prayer?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
Some of the people praying place the ends of their shemagh on their shoulders. Does this affect the perfection of the prayer? And is this considered holding back the garments?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not considered [holding back the garments] and it does not affect the prayer. Even if one prays without a shemagh on him, his prayer is valid. And if he wears the shemagh in any manner—whether he wraps it around his head, winds it around his head, or leaves it on his shoulders—it is all permissible. Yes.
