Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some people have part of their 'awrah exposed when they prostrate. Is their prayer valid?
Answer:
If he did not know, his prayer is valid. But if he knew and left it, his prayer is invalid. If he knew and the exposure was significant and he left it, his prayer is invalid. But if he did not know, or if the exposure was slight, his prayer is valid. Yes.
