Is tucking in the garment prohibited in prayer or before prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is prohibited in prayer. Is tucking in the garment prohibited outside of prayer...?
The Shaykh : I mean, your question is whether a person enters prayer with his garment tucked in, or he tucks in his garment after entering prayer. Is that the question?
The questioner : Yes, tucking in his garment outside?
The Shaykh : Well... this or that. The one that corresponds to the first image is another image. That is, a man tucks in his garment and then enters prayer, while another man enters prayer and then tucks in his garment. There are two images, so which one are you asking about in the hadith?
The questioner : The hadith refers to during the prayer.
The Shaykh : You are the one asking, my brother, I am not asking you. Are you not the one asking?
The questioner : I am asking, yes.
The Shaykh : The intent of the hadith is that the Muslim should not pray with his garment tucked in, and likewise with his hair. Whether the tucking in is before he begins the prayer or during it, the tucking in during the prayer combines another sin, which is fiddling in the prayer. The answer is clear.
