The ruling on tucking in sleeves during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, we have a call from 'Abd al-'Aziz from al-Kharj province. Please, 'Abd al-'Aziz. Peace be upon you. Peace and the mercy of Allah. May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh. Please, state your question, my brother. Yes, regarding the performance of prayer, Shaykh, Allahu Akbar. I was sitting cross-legged and I entered the prayer with my sleeves rolled up on my arms. After the prayer, one of the brothers told me, "There is no god but Allah, this is something the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade in a hadith, that one is prohibited from praying like this..."
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He asks the Honorable Shaykh: After performing wudu, he rolled up his sleeves and prayed with them rolled up. A man told him that this is prohibited. Is this statement correct?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it has a basis, because he leaves his sleeves and his clothes, and he prostrates with them on the ground without tucking them in. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

I was commanded to prostrate on seven bones and not to tuck in any hair or clothing.
أمرت أن أسجد على سبعة أعظم وألا أكف شعرا ولا ثوبا.
