Offering Salaat while the private parts or parts of them are uncovered
Offering Salaat while the private parts [or parts of them] are uncovered
The following kinds of people fall in this mistake:
Those who wear tight trousers and short shirts that when they bow down [for Ruku' or prostrate themselves; a part of their backs and a part of their private parts become uncovered, the thing which renders their Salaat invalid. We seek refuge in Allaah (عز وجل) from ignorance and those who are ignorant. They cause their Salaat to a loss because of such tight trousers imported from countries of disbelievers. (1)
Attracting muslims' attention to such a mistake, Shaikh Abdullaah Ibn Abdir Rahmaan said: ‘Many people do not wear wide thick clothes, they wear instead the Saraawiil and Jibbah (i.e. Qamiis) that cover their backs and chests. When they bow down the Qamiis [shirt] shrinks upwards and the Saraawil [trousers] downwards the thing that causes the lower part of their backs to be uncovered and since this part is a part of one’s private parts, their Salaat is rendered invalid and void’.
