Makruh for men


555

Q: What is the ruling on offering Salah (Prayer) while wearing a towel wrapped around the body?


A: If this towel covers the man's `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public), i.e. the area between the navel to the knees, then Salah is valid; otherwise, it is not. (Part No. 6; Page No. 173) However, it is better to pray while wearing a garment that covers the shoulder along with the `Awrah according to the Hadith: None of you should pray in a single cloth that covers nothing of his shoulder. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
