The ruling on praying in a garment that is forbidden for its owner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.

The questioner : Allah. What do you say, O Khalid, about a man who finds a garment that is forbidden for him? Does he pray in it or not? The school of thought is that he prays in it, and this is supported. A garment that is forbidden for him, and it is pure. He prays in it. In the name of Allah. He prays in it and repeats the prayer, according to the majority of scholars, because they look at whether this garment is complete, O Shaykh? Yes. When he bought this garment, did he contract for it with a forbidden price? Did he contract for it with a forbidden price, or did he buy it on credit? Then.

The Shaykh : Yes, he does not pray in it, that is a mistake.

The questioner : If it is forbidden due to the right of Allah or the right of people, then if it is forbidden due to the right of people, the school of thought is that he does not pray in it. If it is due to the right of Allah, he prays in it and repeats the prayer.

The Shaykh : Okay, that is correct. We say: If he prays in a garment that is forbidden for him, and it is due to the right of Allah, there is no repetition required for him, because he is in a state of necessity, like silk for a man or an image for a man or a woman. If it is due to the right of a human being, the school of thought is that he does not pray in it and prays naked. There is another opinion that he prays in it, because he has a need to pray in this garment, so he prays. If its owner forgives him, that is fine. If he does not forgive him, he gives him the fee for its use during the time of prayer.
