Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is covering the shoulders in prayer obligatory?
Answer:
According to Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), it is obligatory to cover one of the shoulders, because in the hadith it is said: "None of you should pray in a single garment with nothing on his shoulder." This is an authentic hadith, but the majority say that this is a matter of recommendation. Imam Ahmad says, no, this is obligatory. Yes.
