Question:
Is the one who prayed in a stolen garment ordered to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
The most likely view—may Allah know best—is that he is not ordered to repeat the prayer, based on the general rule, such as if one deliberately prayed in a garment that is ritually impure.
Q: Is the prayer in a stolen garment like the prayer on stolen land?
A: The prayer is valid; this is the correct view. Whether it is stolen land or a stolen garment, the prayer is valid because the prohibition is not for the sake of the prayer; the prohibition is for the sake of the usurpation, which applies to the one praying and the one not praying. This is unlike something specific to the prayer, such as ritual impurity and the like.
Q: Meaning, he is not ordered to repeat the prayer?
A: He is not ordered to repeat the prayer, and he must return the right to its owner, whether it is land or a garment.
