The ruling on the Sa'i area, whether it is inside the mosque, and wearing tight trousers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: The wearing of tight trousers by young men has become widespread. What is the ruling on this, especially in prayer? And what is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of those who say that the Sa'i area is now inside the mosque?
The Shaykh:
The Sa'i area is inside the mosque, but it is an independent station. Even though it is within the building, it remains a station for Sa'i where the Sa'i is performed. It is permissible for a menstruating woman to perform Sa'i and to remain there, unlike the mosque, where it is not permissible for menstruating women to sit. Thus, the Sa'i area has specific rulings. Yes, if one enters the building of the Sa'i area. The rest of the answer?
The questioner:
This is the reason.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The trousers, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to wear clothing that does not cover, or tight clothing that reveals his limbs and the attractive parts of his body. This is not permissible. He should wear covering, loose clothing, and not wear trousers or tight items, or transparent items that do not cover what is behind them. Yes.
