The Shemagh on the Shoulder and Tucking the Garment in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some scholars state that when the shemagh is placed on the shoulder and draped over it, it is considered tucking the garment, and that it is prohibited. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
No, that is not correct. Tucking the garment means you tuck the bottom of your garment or your izar, or you roll up or tuck your sleeve. That is tucking the garment. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The shemagh is not a garment; the shemagh is a head covering, it is not a garment. Yes.
