The Preference in Leading Prayer Between One Wearing Trousers and One Wearing a Thawb
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Does this apply to the one wearing trousers who is more deserving of leading the prayer, and the one wearing a thawb? Which of the two is more deserving?
The Shaykh:
Rather, the one who is stationary is more deserving, whether his upper and lower body are covered by rimal or by a thawb, it is all the same. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If the one whose lower body is covered but whose upper body is exposed, he is more deserving than the one who covers his entire body. He is more deserving.
