Does the prayer of one who prays in trousers with a small tear above the knee become invalid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If the one praying is wearing trousers and there is a small tear above the knee, does the prayer become invalid?

Answer:
If anything of his 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), which is the area between the navel and the knee, becomes exposed during the prayer and he leaves it uncovered without covering it, his prayer is invalid. If it remains exposed and he is aware of it and does not cover it, his prayer is invalid because it does not cover his 'awrah, and covering the 'awrah is a condition for the validity of the prayer. Yes, take your adornment at every mosque, meaning at every prayer.
