The ruling on praying in the state of ihram without placing the garment over the shoulder
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, on one occasion, while I was in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, the time for prayer arrived. I performed the prayer while in ihram without the cloth over my chest; in fact, part of it was on the ground, and I prayed with the cloth underneath me. Is my prayer valid? Is there any sin on me for that, or must I repeat the prayer? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. Jabir said that he draped it over himself, crossing the two ends. The scholars differ on this: is it obligatory or recommended? The stronger view is that it is obligatory, because he said, “None of you should pray in a single garment with nothing of it over his shoulder.” This is a prohibition, and the original ruling of a prohibition is that it is forbidden. Therefore, it is better for you to repeat it. You had a garment that you left behind, and you were able to place it over your shoulder, and it was easy for you to do so. We advise you to repeat the prayer. Yes.
