Salaah without pants

Feb 21, 2024 | Prerequisites

Question:-

If one performs Salaah without pants, then will his Salaah and Wudhu be valid?

Answer:-

Although, it will be fundamentally permissible for one to perform Salaah with a long Kurta that covers the Satr (i.e. without wearing pants), but it is against etiquettes to do so. Adab demands that one presents himself before Allah Ta’ala in a respectable and honourable manner at the time of performing Salaah. Wudhu without pants is valid.

اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْكِسْوَةَ مِنْهَا فَرْضٌ وَهُوَ مَا يَسْتُرُ الْعَوْرَةَ وَيَدْفَعُ الْحَرَّ وَالْبَرْدَ وَالْأَوْلَى كَوْنُهُ مِنْ الْقُطْنِ أَوْ الْكَتَّانِ أَوْ الصُّوفِ عَلَى وِفَاقِ السُّنَّةِ بِأَنْ يَكُونَ ذَيْلُهُ لِنِصْفِ سَاقِهِ وَكُمُّهُ لِرُءُوسِ أَصَابِعِهِ وَفَمُهُ قَدْرَ شِبْرٍ كَمَا فِي النُّتَفُ بَيْنَ النَّفِيسِ وَالْخَسِيسِ إذْ خَيْرُ الْأُمُورِ أَوْسَاطُهَا (الدر المختار 6/351)

وَرَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ عَنْهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَلْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُتَزَيَّنَ لَهُ» وَالظَّاهِرُ أَنَّهَا تَنْزِيهِيَّةٌ وَفَسَّرَ ثِيَابَ الْبِذْلَةِ فِي شَرْحِ الْوِقَايَةِ بِمَا يَلْبَسُهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَلَا يَذْهَبُ بِهِ إلَى الْأَكَابِرِ (البحر الرائق 35/2)
