Praying in the state of ihram without placing the garment over the shoulder
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our teacher, may Allah reward you. This 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? Do I have any sin in that, or must I repeat the prayer? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. The scholars who hold it obligatory say to wrap it around oneself, keeping the two ends apart. There is disagreement among the scholars on this: is it obligatory or recommended according to the scholars' views? The ruling is that it is disliked to pray without it, because the original ruling is prohibition, and the original ruling of ihram is prohibition. Therefore, it is better for you to repeat it, because 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. So what we advise you to do is to repeat it. Yes.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
None of you should pray in a garment from which nothing is over his shoulder.
