Explanation of the author's statement: "... and tucking up his sleeve and rolling it up..."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "It is disliked to tuck up one's sleeve and roll it up".
It is disliked for a person to tuck up his sleeve in prayer by doing it like this; this is the tucking up. As for rolling it up, it is doing it like this, rolling it up. Yes, he twists it. Yes?
The questioner : He explains it.
The Shaykh : He explains it, he elaborates on it. Yes, in any case, the important point is that tucking up the sleeve means pulling it up so that it rises, and rolling it up means folding it. Yes, so that it rises. The scholars said there is no difference between doing this at the time of prayer for the sake of prayer, or doing it for work before prayer, such as if he was working and had tucked up the sleeve of his garment or rolled it up, and then came to pray. We tell him to let the sleeve down and undo the roll. Yes, what is the evidence? The evidence is the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan Ibn Majah 1040Sahih (Darussalam) They said that his prohibition or his statement Sunan Ibn Majah 1040Sahih (Darussalam) includes tucking up the entire garment, such as if he tucked it up from the bottom, or tucking up part of it, such as the sleeves. I wish the author had mentioned tucking up the garment so that it would correspond to the wording of the hadith.
So, it is disliked to tuck up the garment by raising the garment like this, and it is also disliked to roll up the garment by folding it or twisting it like this until he binds it to his belly. All of this is disliked. Why? Because it is not part of completing the taking of adornment. Taking adornment among people is for the garment to be let down, not tucked up. Also, a person might do it out of arrogance so that his garment does not get soiled by the dust, and this would be a type of pride. Also, it should be that the garment is spread out and not tucked up, because a person might be liable for everything that touches him which comes into contact with the ground. For this reason, we dislike tucking up the garment. Is there a type of tucking up the garment that some people do by tucking up the ghutrah like this? Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, this is not tucking up the garment, because this is a type of clothing. That is, the ghutrah is worn in this manner. It is worn, for example, on the head, tucked up on the head, and placed behind. And for this reason, it is permissible for a person to pray in the 'imamah, and the 'imamah is wound around the head and not let down. If it is the custom of people to use the ghutrah and the shemagh in various ways, he says, "I wore it according to custom; I did not tuck it up or do anything." For this reason, the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If one throws the qaba over his shoulders without inserting the sleeves, it is not considered letting it hang down, because he wears it in this manner at times".
