The ruling on praying behind an imam who wears pants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is it permissible to pray behind an imam who wears pants?
The Shaykh:
No, there is no obstacle. As long as the pants cover the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), one may pray behind him whether he is wearing pants, a thobe, or a bisht. The point is that it covers the 'awrah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. That concludes it.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The presenter:
Amen, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon His servant and our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
