Regarding the trousers, if they wear a long garment or a long blouse over them that extends past the knees or reaches the knees?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Regarding the trousers, Shaykh, if they wear a long garment, a long blouse that extends past the knees; does it also fall into ...?
The Shaykh: Into what?
The questioner: Like ... and the imams wear trousers, but they wear a blouse over them that extends or reaches the knee, and they pray in it.
The Shaykh: If he prostrates, does part of his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) become exposed or not? If the answer is yes, then a blouse ... like the one the scholars wear, which covers completely, is not suitable. But if it is short, that reminds us of what came in the authentic Sunnah, in "Sunan Abu Dawud" and others, that a man from the Companions traveled with a group from the people of Madinah to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was in Makkah and had not yet migrated. This man had a clever, intelligent son ... A man from the side of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Madinah to ask about anything new that had come down in the Qur'an, to pick it up and understand it as a magnet picks up iron. When the man returned with the group, he brought a new ruling; which was the congregational prayer. They used to pray the obligatory prayers individually, so the Messenger (peace be upon him) established a new Sunnah (recommended practice) for them, that rulings come not as a sudden change but in a sequence. And among these rulings was his saying (peace be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 980Sahih (Darussalam). This boy said: So they looked in Madinah and did not find anyone better than me in the Qur'an. His age, as the narrator says, was between seven and nine years old. So they presented him to lead the men as imam, and the women were behind them. When this boy finished the prayer with the taslim (the closing salam of prayer), a woman from behind the rows of women shouted: Do you not cover your rear from us, O imam? This boy had worn an izar (loincloth) made of this heavy fabric, I do not know what you call it? ... A garment that does not have this softness, so it is stiff; and when he prostrates, it becomes exposed ... like this because of the stiffness of the garment, meaning it has no softness.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... And Allah knows best.
The Shaykh: The important thing is that it appears that when the boy prostrated, and naturally the women delay their prostration, it fell ... their eyes ... and the garment became exposed from his rear, from his backside; so she shouted: Do you not cover your rear from us, O imam? So this imam ... which I called ... .
The complete hadith for the benefit: He said: "So buy me a garment," even though he was small, but he preserved it, Subhan Allah! He said: "I did not rejoice in anything as I rejoiced in that garment"; because he was a small child.
