If a man prays in a garment that is ritually impure without knowing it, and he becomes aware of it during his prayer, what should he do?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Suppose you became aware of the impurity while you were praying, specifically the impurity of the garment while you were praying.
What do you do?
We say: If it is possible for you to remove it while keeping your 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) covered, then do so. For example, if you are wearing two garments: the upper one is impure and the second is pure, then in this case, you can easily remove the upper one and continue your prayer.
However, if it is not possible for you to remove it without exposing your 'awrah, it is obligatory for you to break off from your prayer and put on another garment.
We said that it is a condition that the garment be permissible.
And what is the opposite of permissible?
The opposite of permissible is forbidden.
And among the forbidden things is for a man to wear a silk garment, for silk is forbidden for men.
