The Scholars are Agreed That if Ones ‘Awrah is Covered,
Then his Salaah is Correct.
Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaanee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “It would be better if they wore a long shirt over their trousers which would reach their knees, like the Pakistani dress because this helps him cover himself better.”
It says in the Hanafee book, ad-Daar al-Mukhtaar (2/84):
“It doesn’t affect the validity of the prayer if one prays
in a garment that sticks to ones limbs.”
Imaam an-Nawawee states in al-Majmoo’ (3/170), a Shaafi’ee
book:
“If one covers his ‘Awrah [TN: the area between the navel
and the knee for the man, and the whole body is ‘Awrah for the woman in front
of non-Mahram men and in front of Mahram men and their women, then they can
only show their hands, forearms, feet, calf, neck and above, see: al-Mughni,
3/7; al-Istidhkaar, 2/197; al-Majmoo’, 3/173; al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 24/173]
but the shape can be defined then the Salaah is still correct; Ad-Daarimee said
that it is not valid if the person praying is wearing a garment that defines
the persons shape but this is incorrect.”
It says in Haashiyah al-Dasooqee (2/309), a Maalikee book:
“Praying Salaat in clothes that define the ‘Awrah is correct;
however it is extremely disliked to do so.”
It says in al-Haashiyyah al-Rawda al-Murrabi’ (1/494) by Ibn
Qaasim, a Hanbali book:
“The Madhab of the Hanbalees is the same view of the other
three Madhabs, Aboo Haneefah, Maalik and Shaafi’ee [May Allaah have Mercy on
them all], as long as the persons ‘Awrah and the colour of his skin is not made
apparent from looking at his clothes, then the Salaah is correct because it
can’t be avoided.”
Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz [May Allaah have Mercy on him]
said:
“…And likewise, wearing trousers, if it covers your ‘Awrah then
the Salaat is correct even if one is wearing trousers that are an imitation of
what the Kuffaar wear.”
[Noor ‘ala Darb (12/24)]
Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-‘Uthaymeen [May Allaah have Mercy
on him] said about women praying in trousers:
“If they are wide and don’t define her shape, otherwise
there will be a gap between one leg and the other, this would mean that she is
not covered properly (as the shape of her body can still be defined and thus
not being covered properly.) Also, there is also another fear that there may be
imitation being involved, women looking like men, as in origin, trousers are
only worn by men (i.e. she maybe sinning in wearing them).”
[Majmoo’ al-Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (12/186)]
Shaykh Saaleh al-Fawzaan [May Allaah Preserve him] was
asked:
What is ruling on praying in trousers?
He replied:
As long as it covers your ‘Awrah then the condition for
prayers have been accomplished. A condition for praying is that the ‘Awrah is
covered. If it is tight or you can see the shape of his legs then that it is
another issue, but if you wear trousers the condition for praying has been
accomplished. It is perhaps better to leave things like this, such if ones
clothes are tight or he is able to do Sujood or Rukoo if his trousers are tight
[Mukhstasar Zaad al-Ma’aad, Tape 12; Mins (1/11/1430)]
Shaykh ‘Abdul-Kareem bin ‘Abdullah al-Khudayr [May Allaah
Preserve him] said:
What is required is to fulfil the condition of covering your
‘Awrah. The whole body of the women is considered to be her ‘Awrah with the
people of knowledge, but the question is; what is the ruling on her wearing
trousers?
The people of knowledge have stated this is Haraam as it
involves imitation. So if it is Haraam then how can a Muslim draw closer their
Lord by wearing something that He has prohibited and made forbidden? Even if
there is no specific evidence to suggest that wearing them is prohibited,
general principles found within the guidelines of Shar’eeah in regards to
clothing help us give us an understanding.
So if there is something prohibited in and of itself or it
is prohibited and violates one of the conditions of the act of worship, then
doing it with this prohibition means that act of worship is then nullified.
However, if one preformed an act of worship whilst doing
something prohibited, but this prohibition has nothing to do with fulfilling
the conditions of the act of worship they are performing, such a man covering
his ‘Awrah with a garment made out of silk for example, then does this
situation and its ruling effect the validity of the man’s Salaah, knowing that
in general wearing silk is Haraam? Another example is that a man prays Salaah
whilst wearing a golden ring etc.
The scholars differentiated; if the thing that this person
does is prohibited in and of itself or he contradicts the conditions of the act
of worship he is preforming, then this act of worship is nullified. This is
because the people of knowledge have stated that the act of worship must fulfil
its conditions for it to be accepted, so covering the ‘Awrah is a condition for
the Salaah to be correct, thus this must be covered otherwise his Salaah will
be invalid.

It is better to wear a long shirt or jacket,
something that will be worn over your body that will cover the shape of your
'Awrah
Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz [May Allaah have Mercy on him]
also said:
“It would be better if the one wearing trousers wore a long
shirt over his trousers because this helps cover himself in a better way.”Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaanee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “It would be better if they wore a long shirt over their trousers which would reach their knees, like the Pakistani dress because this helps him cover himself better.”
