Ruling on praying in a semi-transparent garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Does a semi-transparent wire mesh garment cover the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) or not? And is the prayer valid for a Muslim wearing it?
A: If the garment mentioned does not cover the skin because it is transparent or thin, then the prayer of a man is not valid in it, unless he has trousers or a waistcloth underneath that covers what is between the navel and the knee.
As for a woman, her prayer is not valid in such a garment unless she has something underneath that covers her entire body.
As for short trousers under the garment mentioned, they are not sufficient. It is obligatory for a man who prays in such a garment to have on a "fanilah" (undergarment) or something else that covers the shoulders or one of them; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:72 It is agreed upon that it is authentic.

لا يصلي أحدكم في الثوب الواحد ليس على عاتقه منه شيء
