The questioner : What are the boundaries of the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) for a man? Is it from the navel to the knee, from the top, or to the knee from the bottom? And what is the ruling if one wears a garment that is not transparent but only the outlines of the underwear are visible beneath it?
The Shaykh : Yes, the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) of a man with regard to prayer is between the navel and the knee. The navel is not part of the awrah, and the knee is not part of the awrah.
If a person wears a light garment that does not reveal the skin but through which the outlines of the underwear are visible, it is still a covering. The garment that does not cover is the one through which the color of the skin is visible, distinguishing the skin as red, yellow, black, or similar. Yes.
