The questioner : A transparent garment
The Shaykh : Yes, praying in a transparent garment is permissible if there are trousers underneath that cover the area between the navel and the knee. If there is nothing underneath, it is not permissible; it is not permissible to wear it in prayer or outside of prayer, because covering the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) is necessary.

Its presence is like its absence. Do you understand now? What is the answer?
