The Ruling on Praying in a Flimsy or Transparent Garment

 


Question:

Does a clear, thin garment cover the Awrah or not? And is prayer of a Muslim who wears it correct or not?
Answer:

If the above-mentioned garment does not cover the skin due to its transparency or thinness, then it is not permissible for a man to pray in it, unless he has some other garments which cover up what is between the navel and the knees ... As for the women, her prayer will not be acceptable in such a garment, unless she wears something underneath it which covers her whole body. As for the short pants that are worn under the aforementioned garment, they are not sufficient, and a man who prays in such clothes must wear a vest or something else which covers the shoulders, or one of them, according to the Hadith of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) which states: None of you should pray in one garment which does not cover anything of his shoulders. [1]
[1] Muslim no. 516 and Abu Dawud no. 626.

    Clapping One's Hands and Whistling   Question: What is the ruling on people whistling and clapping their hands in parties?Answer: This practice appears to be taken from non-Muslims; therefore, it is not an appropriate thing for a Muslim to do. When a Muslim is joyful about something, he says Allahuakbar (Allah is the greatest); or 'Subhanallah (How perfect Allah is!). Furthermore, it is incorrect to say' Allahuakbar' in unison with a group, as some people do. A person should say this by himself; there is no basis to saying so in unison with others.Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`UthaymeenFatawa Islamiyah Darussalam Vol 8 page no.

So, is that permissible for him?Answer: What is obligatory is to make haste in fasting the fast of expiation. Therefore, it is not permissible to fast the six days before it, because it (the six days of Shawwal) is voluntary while the expiation is obligatory and it must be done immediately.
