Is it permissible for one whose garment is long to tuck it in during the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He means, in the prayer, I cannot imagine that a person would sit and tuck in his clothes during the prayer. I mean, the point is, inside the prayer, he sits and tucks them in, or does he come to the prayer with his clothes already tucked in?
The Shaykh : Outside the prayer.
The questioner : Outside the prayer.
The Shaykh : And he enters it in that state as well, because in the hadith it is said: "He forbade tucking in the garment and the hair during the prayer."
The questioner: Ah.
The Shaykh : Do you imagine that a person in prayer would do this? But imagine for me tucking in hair during the prayer, how would that be? If you are... in the prayer.
The questioner : No, he means he comes...
The Shaykh : Do not deviate, do not deviate, do not deviate. Abu Fars, learn, do not deviate from the answer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you imagine? Say yes, tell me, no, do you imagine?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, how do you imagine then? Tucking in hair during the prayer, how is that outside the prayer? This is the answer.
The questioner : He comes with his hair tucked in.
The Shaykh : And this is the garment as well, the meaning is the same.
The questioner : It is possible...
The Shaykh : No, not yet, not yet. You say this about the garment because the hadith mentions two things: the hair and the garment. Just as you explain the hair, you must explain the garment. Then in another hadith, I assure you, the intended meaning is preparation before the prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. This one who prays with his hands bound means he does not do this, but they have shackled him from behind. So this is like the one who prays... what? With his hair tied up.
The questioner : Meaning he has tied his hair.
The Shaykh : Meaning he has tied his hair, yes. Therefore, the matter is outside the prayer. And peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The student : Of course, if Allah wills, it is necessary.
The Shaykh : We must see him, since he has this eagerness for knowledge.
The student : If Allah wills, give me your phone number.
The Shaykh : Outside the prayer.
The questioner : Outside the prayer.
The Shaykh : And he enters it in that state as well, because in the hadith it is said: "He forbade tucking in the garment and the hair during the prayer."
The questioner: Ah.
The Shaykh : Do you imagine that a person in prayer would do this? But imagine for me tucking in hair during the prayer, how would that be? If you are... in the prayer.
The questioner : No, he means he comes...

The questioner : ... .

Then in another hadith, I assure you, the intended meaning is preparation before the prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The example of the one who prays with his hair tied up is like the example of the one who prays with his hands bound.
مَثَل الذي يصلي معقوص الشعر كمَثَل الذي يصلي مغلول اليدينThe questioner : Meaning he has tied his hair.
The Shaykh : Meaning he has tied his hair, yes. Therefore, the matter is outside the prayer. And peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
