Ruling on praying in garments with half-length sleeves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a man praying in garments with half-length sleeves?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. A man may pray in garments where half of his forearm, or his entire forearm, or his entire upper arm is exposed. This is not part of the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). This applies if he is wearing an izar (lower garment) and has something on his shoulders; that is sufficient. The 'awrah is not in his arm or his leg. Rather, this is considered 'awrah only in the case of a woman, whose entire body is 'awrah. As for the man, his 'awrah in prayer is from the navel to the knee, along with covering one of his shoulders.
