The ruling on praying in trousers and a T-shirt at home

The third question in this letter asks: Is it permissible for a man to pray inside his home wearing trousers and a T-shirt that cover the private parts, or is he required to wear his full clothes and adorn himself with the ghutrah and the like?
Answer: Praying in trousers and a T-shirt that covers the shoulders is valid, and there is no harm if the trousers cover the private parts and the T-shirt covers the shoulders; there is no blame in any of this, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): So if there is something on the shoulder or both shoulders, like a T-shirt, praise be to Allah. However, it is better for him to adorn himself by wearing his shirt and turban; based on the saying of the Exalted: [Al-A'raf: 31] It is better for him to take the customary adornment and pray with the people in good clothes. All of this is better. But if he prays in an izar and a rida, or prays in a shirt and a rida, or a shirt and a T-shirt that covers the shoulders, there is no harm in that and no blame, so the prayer is valid. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
