What is the ruling on a man praying in trousers?

The Shaykh : What do you have? Listen to these Syrian questions now, may Allah reward you with good. Or perhaps I rushed and said "questions" when I should have been cautious and said "some questions," because there is a problem with the questions.

The questioner : May you be rewarded with good.

The questioner : Regarding the topic of a man praying in trousers in prayer.

The Shaykh : By Allah, it came out of your mouth; it came out of your mouth.

The questioner : A man praying in trousers in prayer.

The Shaykh : A man praying in trousers in prayer, meaning in pants, in the Syrian dialect.

Another questioner : Or wearing pants, as our Shaykh says.

The Shaykh : This is about wearing pants, yes. This is so that you remember, Abu Abd al-Rahman, that the one whose house is made of glass should not throw stones at people.

Another questioner : He, our Shaykh, it seems to me, and Allah knows best, that he wanted to take a stand against his cousin.

The Shaykh : How?

Another questioner : He wanted to take a stand against his cousin.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : That he be an advisor, if Allah wills, and one who is advised.

The Shaykh : If Allah wills.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Now, do you have a problem with wearing trousers?

The questioner : By Allah, as for me, regarding trousers, I have a detailed explanation.

The Shaykh : Oh Shaykh, may Allah guide you. A believer is not bitten twice from the same hole. You answer the question, do not give a lecture.

The questioner : I don't know.

The Shaykh : Huh, did you see how it is? May Allah bless you.

The questioner : I do not know.

The Shaykh : Like this, this is it.

The questioner : This is knowledge.

The Shaykh : This is from the grace of the guidance of the Sunnah, East and West, East and West. Is this not from the clothing of the disbelievers? Is the trouser not from the clothing of the misguided disbelievers?

The questioner : Correct.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And today? It has become the clothing of Muslims. I see Muslims, praise be to Allah, who are not wearing trousers.

The questioner : I am in Saudi Arabia; when I go to Saudi Arabia, it is impossible for me to wear trousers because...

The Shaykh : No, no, no, like this, you have now become a two-faced person applying this to yourself.

The questioner : You did not finish your speech for me.

The Shaykh : Excuse me, my apologies.

The questioner : When I want to wear the thobe, I remain an odd element in society because no one wears a thobe except a rare group. So the matter of trousers has become very common.

The Shaykh : Allah, if someone other than you, Abu Abd al-Rahman, had said it, if someone else had said it.

The questioner : Meaning, now.

The Shaykh : Like this, now the Muslim has to live with this logic.

The questioner: No, of course not.

The Shaykh : How could you say this? You did not even ask me so I could answer you; you are deciding.

The questioner : Our brother Abd al-Rahman, may Allah reward him with good.

The Shaykh : Ah, good. This is an indication of the purity of his heart, but I like it when his words match his heart.

The questioner : Do you have this, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Ah, I will say it this way.

The questioner : He wants to benefit from you, saying you...

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you, Abu Abd al-Rahman. I say that the Muslim must be in his attire and clothing. Suppose a Jewish plane hijacked a helicopter and dropped him in one of the Jewish squares, where? In Tel Aviv. Everyone who sees him says, "This is a Muslim." This is how the Muslim should be: his outward appearance like his inward state. And recently, on this occasion, I remembered our brother Marwan, the owner of the Quran and Sunnah Association. With him was a man, also the head of the Quran and Sunnah Association in some country. In any case, an occasion arose resembling the imitation of disbelievers, and I spoke at length about this, mentioning what resembles this speech now. I am saying that the true Muslim does not care about people, Abu Abd al-Rahman. And so I was very surprised at you for walking with the society. What does that poet say: "And I am but from Ghazah; if it strays, I stray." No.

The questioner : Excuse me, you misunderstood my following.

The Shaykh : You may

The questioner : We have a common saying in the whole society that the trouser drags on the ground, contrary to the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So as for me, it is permissible by hearing because the trouser is above the ankles, so I did not imitate the society.

The Shaykh : Meaning, you are not wearing trousers?

The questioner : No, I am wearing them.

Another questioner : He means.

The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you, Abu Abd al-Rahman. It is not just once; may Allah forgive you many times and many times.

The questioner : Do you allow me to speak? After your permission?

The Shaykh : No. The important thing is that you must change your attire completely. And may Allah forbid that if the Jews hijacked you and threw you there, they would point to you and say, "This is a Muslim, kill him," and you would go as a martyr in the path of Allah. So you are afraid of your Muslims who live with you in Syria, if they see you, they might say, "What is this? He is a Salafi! He is a Saudi! He is a Hijazi!" Let them say what they want. What do you have to do with what people say? The hadith, Abu al-Harith, which says Allah is the Greatest. So you must keep before your eyes, as is your custom, what I have not finished saying. My matter with you is not correct; it sometimes comes upon you, but in truth, not in falsehood, from the standpoint of advice. As you are always, you must be with the Shari'ah. The Shari'ah commands that your outward appearance be Muslim. So now, without offense, we are afflicted now by the coming of the Jews here in groups and crowds, and so on. If you are walking in these streets and the confused is mixed with the clear, and one of us is walking and mixed with the crowd, what will people say about you? In other words, and more precisely.

The questioner : I saw you with this crowd.

The Shaykh : Yes, the crowd. You say, "If I saw you with this crowd, would I greet you?" Say it frankly, as they testified that you speak what is in your heart.

The questioner : By Allah, I.

The Shaykh : I do not want a lecture! I want yes or no?

The questioner : No

The Shaykh : So if I did not greet you, did I hit the mark or did I err?

The questioner : You hit the mark.

The Shaykh : Good. Do you see how he speaks what is in his heart? If the one who erred among us two, who is it? Is it the one who did not make room for his Muslim brother to greet him, or the one who did not greet the Muslim who does not bear the symbol of Islam and Muslims?

The questioner : I took a fatwa on the matter of trousers from.The Shaykh : Eid, when he was in Sham.

The Shaykh : I asked you, did you take a fatwa or not? I asked you, did you take a fatwa or not?

The questioner : No

The Shaykh : Did you see how you are tormenting me, Abu Abd al-Rahman? How much are you taking from my time and my speech? I asked you, who is the one who erred, you or me? I did not greet you, and you are my Muslim brother. It was supposed that I should greet you, but I am excused because I did not know you. So who will be the one who erred, me or you?

The questioner : I.

The Shaykh : Now, if you, what is your duty now? Do you persist in your error and continue with it, or do you turn back from it?

The questioner : We will turn back from it.

The Shaykh : So, if Allah wills, on the second trip, we will see you have put on our shirt and thrown the trousers to the three.

The questioner : I want Abu Imran to throw them with me, because this is an odd attire for the others.

The Shaykh : No, our talk is not about exposing character, Abu Abd al-Rahman. Keep in mind that our talk is from the standpoint of religion and advice.

The questioner : He has a shirt of mine, if Allah wills, before he leaves.

The Shaykh : Mashallah.

The questioner : As for my brothers, I remain a dwarf because one is 15 cm taller than me and one is 25 cm.

The Shaykh : And daughters?

The questioner : No, young men.

The Shaykh : I did not say your brothers, I said your sisters.

The questioner : My brothers.

The Shaykh : This is a problem. I could have proposed to one of them, hehehe.

Another questioner : Hajj, may Allah reward him with good.The Shaykh : Nasuh said a word, saying, "Does not his beard intercede for him?"

The Shaykh : No

Another questioner : So I remembered a situation that happened to me at the airport in the Netherlands, our Shaykh. By Allah, I saw a bearded man, bearded. I was about to say, "As-salamu alaykum," but when he removed the ear of the Jewish cap, his head was full, do you know it? It is small. By Allah, I could hardly distinguish him from the Muslims, like the Muslim Brotherhood or others, these who wear trousers. Subhan Allah.

The Shaykh : If Allah wills, this session is blessed, Abu Abd al-Rahman.

Another questioner : With your presence, our Shaykh.

The questioner : Now he went down for the elections of the Chamber of Commerce. So he usually does not wear, after Allah guided him, anything but the shirt and the beard, mashallah, and the cap.

The questioner : So now I am saying to one yesterday... regarding the parliaments and the chamber. I told him, "Come, I will show you this picture at the neighbor's, because I, of course, prevented them from putting pictures on the door of the shop that was receiving the groups of the bloc. So I told him, 'Do you see this beard? You will see it later if he succeeds. If he succeeds, of course, you will see it in a different state. This shirt he is wearing now, you will see it in trousers. He cannot even hold meetings; they will be, for example, in China and Japan, in this attire, absolutely not, or they will overthrow him.'"

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
