The Shaykh : It is obligatory to cover the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) with a pure, permissible garment that does not reveal the skin.
Pay attention to the conditions: with a pure, permissible garment that does not reveal the skin.
Now, if the garment is ritually impure, it is not permissible to cover the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) with it, and if a person prays with it, his prayer is invalid. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once prayed with his companions while wearing his sandals. Jibril came to him and informed him that there was impurity in his sandals, so he took them off, and the Companions took off their sandals. When he finished his prayer, he said:? They said: We saw you take off your sandals, so we took off ours. He said: Mishkat al-Masabih 766.
This indicates that it is not permissible for a person to wear anything that is ritually impure, and that is indeed the case.
