Discussion on covering the 'awrah in prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We are looking at the style of the Messenger's (peace be upon him) answer.
The questioner : (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : So what was the Messenger's answer? Or before that, what was the wording of the questioner? The questioner said: "O Messenger of Allah, does one of us pray in a single garment?" He said:.
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : Yes, this answer does not give you the impression that you always pray in whatever state you are in, whether you are poor or rich, having two garments or not having them. No, this answer does not give that.
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : This is the generality of the statement.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Rather, he said to you:. So the hadith is explicit that it is permissible to pray in a single garment if you do not find two garments, correct?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Good; but it is not explicit that it is permissible for you to pray in a single garment while you have two garments. I say: it is not explicit; what is the meaning of the statement? It means the hadith did not address this aspect.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It did not address the aspect that was not asked about or that was not answered.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh means if you do not find two garments, pray in a single garment. A question comes for a man who has two garments: Is it permissible for him to pray in a single garment? Yes, we need to take this answer from the following hadith. The second hadith: He (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him) said: .
The questioner : So it is a single izar.
The Shaykh : Oh?
The questioner : How much is a single izar here? An izar...
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : No, the rida' is what is placed on the shoulders.
The Shaykh : Yes, and the izar?
The questioner : The izar is from the waist and below.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : So it becomes two garments.
The questioner : No, the izar means... like Hajj, an izar and a rida'.
The Shaykh : We understood each other, what is the izar...?
The questioner : No, the izar, meaning the rida' does not cover the ground in two garments.
The Shaykh : And who told you that regarding the ground?
The questioner : The ground.
The Shaykh : Are we talking about one garment or two garments now?
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : This hadith is explicit:.
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : This is a hadith, a second hadith that says: If the garment is wide, wrap yourself in it, the single garment, we return to the first hadith.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is wide, wrap yourself in it, otherwise gird yourself with it; meaning: if it is wide, then it takes the place of the two garments; meaning: the rida' and the izar if it is wide.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And if it is narrow, then the obligatory thing at that time is...
The questioner : Covering the 'awrah.
The Shaykh : Covering the 'awrah.
The questioner : And the shoulders?
The Shaykh : I feel... or are our faculties in a state of desire?
No, so this is a third hadith, this is the hadith of Jabir, this is the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri;Sahih al-Bukhari 361, Sahih al-Bukhari 361 The Messenger (peace be upon him) confirmed this meaning with his statement, from what?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No no..., ; So we have three cases: The first case: he does not find except a single garment. Second case: he finds two garments; so if he finds the two garments, he does not dispense with them for one; clear?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Clear in what has passed.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I have not finished my speech yet.
The questioner : Okay...
The Shaykh : Because I am telling you: three, and I have mentioned two.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh : The third case: if he has only a single garment, it is looked at: if it is wide, it is not sufficient for him to only cover his 'awrah, he must wrap himself in it and cover his shoulders.
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : I have finished my speech now.
The questioner : So we see that as long as it is a single shirt to the middle of the body, this is called a thawb and shirwal... if the situation is like this, but we made this a single piece of cloth, no... the hadith.
The Shaykh : ... the shirt means.
The questioner : Meaning what.
The Shaykh : Thinking the meaning of thawb is a shirt.
The questioner : Meaning we intend that it will be two garments on top of each other...
The Shaykh : What do we do for you if you were...?
The questioner : No, you mean... now a single garment is sufficient.
The Shaykh : Good; may Allah forgive what has passed.
The questioner : This is called a shirt.
Another questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is like a jilbab, meaning.
Another questioner : Shirt... shirt.
The questioner: Yes.
Another questioner : As for that garment, it is not sewn, basically it may be unsewn.
The questioner : So it is like the clothing of Hajj.
Another questioner : No no, what do they call the shiqfah at the seller?
The questioner : A cloth garment, made a garment.
Another questioner : Okay.
Another questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : My brother, after the hadith of the izar and the rida', there is no more speech.
The questioner : I find it difficult for me that...
The Shaykh : My brother, what do we need now to repeat the mistake, the important thing is we understood the correct thing.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : So we hold onto it, and sufficient for the believers is the battle.
Another questioner : We rely on Allah.
The Shaykh : Here is a question, a questioner asks.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : So what was the Messenger's answer? Or before that, what was the wording of the questioner? The questioner said: "O Messenger of Allah, does one of us pray in a single garment?" He said:
Does everyone of you find two garments?!
أَوكلُّكم يجد ثوبين ؟!The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : Yes, this answer does not give you the impression that you always pray in whatever state you are in, whether you are poor or rich, having two garments or not having them. No, this answer does not give that.
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : This is the generality of the statement.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Rather, he said to you:
Does everyone of you find two garments?!
أَوكلُّكم يجد ثوبين ؟!The questioner: Yes.

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It did not address the aspect that was not asked about or that was not answered.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh
Does everyone of you find two garments?!
أَوكلُّكم يجد ثوبين ؟!Whoever has an izar and a rida', let him gird himself and let him wear the rida'; for Allah is more worthy that one adorn oneself for Him.
من كان له إزار ورداء فليتَّزر وليرتَدِ ؛ فإن الله أحقُّ أن يُتزيَّنَ لهThe questioner : So it is a single izar.
The Shaykh : Oh?
The questioner : How much is a single izar here? An izar...
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : No, the rida' is what is placed on the shoulders.
The Shaykh : Yes, and the izar?
The questioner : The izar is from the waist and below.
The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : No, the izar means... like Hajj, an izar and a rida'.
The Shaykh : We understood each other, what is the izar...?
The questioner : No, the izar, meaning the rida' does not cover the ground in two garments.
The Shaykh : And who told you that regarding the ground?
The questioner : The ground.
The Shaykh : Are we talking about one garment or two garments now?
The questioner: Good.
The Shaykh : This hadith is explicit:
Whoever has an izar and a rida', let him gird himself and let him wear the rida'; for Allah is more worthy that one adorn oneself for Him.
مَن كان له إزار ورداء فليتَّزر وليرتَدِ ؛ فإن الله أحقُّ أن يُتزيَّن لهThe questioner: Good.

The questioner : Covering the 'awrah.
The Shaykh : Covering the 'awrah.
The questioner : And the shoulders?
The Shaykh : I feel... or are our faculties in a state of desire?
No, so this is a third hadith, this is the hadith of Jabir, this is the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri;
If the garment is large enough, wrap it round the body (covering the shoulders) and if it is tight (too short) then use it as an Izar (tie it around your waist only.)
إذا كان واسعًا فالتحِفْ به وإن كان ضيِّقًا فاتَّزر بهIf the garment is large enough, wrap it round the body (covering the shoulders)
إذا كان واسعًا فالتحف بهThe questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No no...
Let none of you pray while there is nothing on his shoulders of his garment
لا يصلِّينَّ أحدكم وليس على عاتقيه من ثوبه شيءLet none of you pray while there is nothing on his shoulders of his garment
لا يصلِّينَّ أحدكم وليس على عاتقيه من ثوبه شيءThe questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Clear in what has passed.
