The Ruling on Praying with a Bare Shoulder and Repeating the Opening Takbir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We begin with the one who did not pray and is not in a state of obligation; I do not know, is there not a "Rabb" in the house? And he prayed, and there was no "Rabb" in the house.
The Shaykh:
He is required to repeat the prayer according to the correct view; because it is obligatory for him, if he is able, to cover his shoulders. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not pray if there is anything on your shoulder that is not covered." Now, for example, if one of the brothers, after he has committed disbelief, remains in the house, or if after he has committed disbelief he begins, meaning he starts reciting al-Fatihah, and one of the brothers realizes it before the strike is completed, he repeats it. If you lied, Allah [knows]. Goodbye. If he began the prayer, he repeats the opening takbir. After the consultation. The opening takbir, and he does not repeat the prayer, because his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) was exposed for a period of time. It means the 'awrah. But regarding this. This is a specific rule in prayer. Yes. Yes.
