Placing the ends of the shemagh on the shoulder during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the people praying place the ends of their shemagh on their shoulders. Does this affect the perfection of the prayer? And is this considered covering the clothes?
Answer:
No, it is not considered [covering the clothes] and it does not affect the prayer. Even if he prays without a shemagh on him, his prayer is valid. And if he wears the shemagh in any way—whether he wraps it around his head, wraps it around his head, or leaves it on his shoulders—no, it is all fine. Yes.
