Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who prays without a garment covering his shoulders?
Answer:
The prayer is valid according to the majority of scholars. There is a narration in the madhhab of Ahmad that his prayer is valid as long as he covers his 'awrah, from the navel to the knee. The majority of scholars hold this view, and there is a narration from Ahmad that it is valid. According to Imam Ahmad, in one narration, it is necessary to cover one of his shoulders in addition to covering the 'awrah, due to the prohibition by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of a man praying in a single garment with nothing on his shoulders. So they derived this ruling from this hadith. Yes.
