Question:
What is the ruling on something from the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) being visible under a garment if the garment is thin?
Answer:
If the garment is thin and reveals the skin, it is not a sutrah (barrier placed before one praying). The condition for a sutrah is that it be thick and not reveal the skin. Therefore, its presence in that case is like its absence. If it reveals the 'awrah, especially the major 'awrah on which the scholars have reached consensus, the prayer is invalid. However, if it reveals the thigh, there is scholarly disagreement on that. Whoever says it is an 'awrah must repeat the prayer, and whoever says it is not an 'awrah, as mentioned in the disagreement on that, is not required to repeat the prayer.
