The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is the meaning of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): ?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : ؟
The Shaykh : Yes,Sunan Ibn Majah 883Sahih (Darussalam)
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had hair that sometimes reached his shoulders, or sometimes the lobes of his ears. When the hair is soft, it flows down until it reaches the ground. It is disliked for a person to tuck up this hair, twist it, and tie it. As for the garment, it is clear that if you intend to prostrate, you do not tuck it up. Some people, when they intend to prostrate, lift their garment, and this is forbidden. Let the garment remain as it is. The scholars said: The wisdom behind this is that his prostration should encompass his garments and hair, just as he prostrates on the seven limbs. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined them in one hadith, saying:.
The questioner : Does the sleeve count?
The Shaykh : No, the sleeve does not count; it is the garment at the bottom. Also, the intention is that you tuck it up for the sake of prayer. If a person had tucked it up beforehand for work or something similar, there is no harm in leaving it as it is, because his saying: means: I do not tuck it up when prostrating. As for what was tucked up beforehand, there is no harm.
There are no questions except in order; the last person asks, the last question.
