Explanation of the author's statement: "...and the complete enveloping (ishmal al-samaw)..."

The Shaykh : Likewise, the complete enveloping (ishmal al-samaw) is disliked. Here, the thing is attributed to its type, meaning the enveloping of the complete garment. This means covering oneself with a garment in a way that makes it "sam" (complete). Originally, "sam" refers to one who does not hear. Therefore, ishmal al-samaw is when one takes a garment and wraps oneself entirely in it, leaving no exit for the hands. They said that this is disliked because it prevents the complete performance of the prescribed acts of prayer, and because if something were to attack him, he would not be able to quickly repel it. This is especially true if the garment is a shirt; it is more severe and more so. That is, wearing the shirt without inserting one's hands into the sleeves. Not putting one's hands into the sleeves is ishmal sam, sam from sam, because a cloak (rida') can open with strong movement, but this does not open.
Now, some scholars said that ishmal al-samaw is to wear a garment in the style of idhtiba' (shoulder-draping) when one has nothing else on it. That is, one has a wide garment that serves as both an izar (lower garment) and a rida' (upper garment), and then one performs idhtiba' with it. Idhtiba' is when a person brings out his right shoulder and places the two ends of the rida' on his left shoulder. The reason for the dislike here is that there is a risk that it may fall, thereby exposing the awrah (nakedness). These are two aspects in explaining al-samaw.
The third aspect is to place the rida' on one side of the body, on one of the two sides, leaving the other side open. If one has only one garment on, this is not merely disliked but forbidden, because his awrah is exposed. If he has an izar on, it is disliked because it resembles walking with one sandal, as he has placed the garment on one side and not the other. These are three characteristics of ishmal al-samaw. All these characteristics, when you see them or reflect upon them, you will find that they contradict the apparent meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted: . Taking the adornment in this manner involves some negligence. One has not taken it completely, because taking the adornment completely is to wear it in the way people are accustomed to wearing it, such that it is covering and is customary and familiar, unlike something that is not customary or familiar.
