Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The prohibition is mentioned regarding arranging pebbles during prayer. Does this include the excessive effort some worshippers make in arranging and adjusting their shemagh during their prayer?
The Shaykh:
Arranging.
The questioner:
The shemagh, the ghutrah.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in it. He may adjust his clothing for the sake of adorning himself with it. There is no harm in it. It is not like pebbles. You adjust your jacket, you adjust your ghutrah, your shemagh. There is no harm in that. Yes.
