Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Salih, says: Honorable Shaykh, some workers who work in shops that deal in oils enter the mosques to pray, and the noble verse says:[Al-A'raf 7:31].
Answer:
Yes, workers whose clothes are soiled should have clean clothes ready. If they want to go to pray, they take off their soiled work clothes, put on the clean clothes, and go to pray in them. They should have clean clothes for prayer and separate clothes for work. As for if they pray in their workplace because they do not have a mosque nearby, they pray in their workplace in their clothes, and even if they are not clean, there is nothing wrong with praying in them as long as they are ritually pure. Yes.
