The Ruling on Wearing Transparent Clothing in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After that, we move on to a letter sent by the questioner who used the code name (Sh. al-Barak) from the city of al-Jawf. He says: What is the ruling on praying in light clothing—that is, clothing through which the body is visible—such as white clothes? Is the prayer in them accepted? I ask you to clarify the ruling in this matter, O Shaykh.
Answer:
If the flesh is visible through it, specifically the area between the navel and the knee, the prayer is not valid due to its lightness and thinness. However, if it is light but covers the body, there is no blame on him; the prayer is valid. But the believer should wear clothing that covers, does not reveal the size of the limbs, and covers the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), so that it is complete clothing. This is the most perfect and best. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
