The ruling on a garment that reveals the skin at the thigh

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a garment reveals the skin at the thigh, is this considered part of the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and is it considered exposing it?

Answer:
From the knee and above, this is part of the 'awrah. So if it does not cover what is behind it because of its thinness or transparency, the prayer is not valid because the 'awrah is not covered. The 'awrah of a man is what is between the navel and the knee. Yes.
