The ruling on praying in dirty work clothes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: There is a group of men who work in a car repair shop, and when the time for prayer comes, they go to the mosque in their work clothes, which are naturally dirty with oil, paint, putty, and the like. So what do you advise them? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The prayer is valid and there is no blame on them, but it is better that they wear, that they prepare, good clothing for the prayer, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-A'raf: 31], and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 91a; and so that their brothers are not disgusted by it; and so that they do not annoy those who sit next to them with these clothes. So the Sunnah for them, and what I advise them to do, is to wear good clothes for the prayer, preparing them, so that when the time for prayer comes, they take off these clothes and put on the good clothes. This is what I advise them to do. Yes.
