Wearing the full outfit or the vest and trousers in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does wearing the full attire count as taking on adornment at every mosque, or is wearing the vest and trousers sufficient for prayer, and which is better?
Answer:
No, the full adornment; do the vest and trousers suffice for adornment? The full adornment, to the point where they say it is recommended for him to cover his head with a turban or a shemagh. He does not pray the obligatory prayer [in just that], because this is more complete and better; adorning oneself is more complete. The condition is met and the prayer is valid in the vest and trousers. But the more complete and better option is that he does not limit himself to that, but wears the thobe and the shemagh and adorns himself for the prayer. The Shaykh al-Islam said that adornment is an amount in excess of covering the 'awrah.
