If he could take away the clothes...

If he could take away the clothes, but had no other clothes, he would complete the prayer in that same clothes. The following najasah are excused in the prayer: (a) The blood which comes out of wound or tumor provided it is difficult to clean it or, at least change the bandage once a day. But if that blood reaches another part of the body which is far from that tumor or wound it is not excused; it must be cleansed.

📌(b) The blood, (other than the blood of haiz , Nifas , or istihaza , or of a dead body, or kafir , or an animal whose meat is not halal) on the clothes or body of the person praying, which is less than 'dirham baghalli ' in the area. Note: dirham baghalli is equivalent to the tip of the fore-finger. (c) Those small wearing apparels which cannot be used to hide the ‘ auratayn (private organs of a human being) owing to their smallness, like small handkerchief, button, ring, etc.

provided they are not made from najasah like dead body, dog, etc. It is not allowed to keep these things in prayer even without wearing them. (d) The clothes of the woman, who rears up an infant boy, provided that: The clothes have become najis with his urine; And she has no other clothes to change into. In this case, she is allowed to clean the clothes once a day and then ignore the najasah of his urine afterwards.

📌This rule cannot be extended from urine to other najasah , or from the woman to man, nor from that woman who does not have another set of clothes to that one who has got other clothes to change into. Note: The above mentioned exceptions are for najis clothes. It does not mean that other rules relating to clothes made from dead body or from a part of an animal whose meat is not halal are also relaxed. The rules about clothes concerning the prayer, also apply in wajib tawaf .

When there is no other clothes except ghasbi , or golden, or silk, and he is obliged to wear it, owing to cold or because there are other persons, he may pray in it; but if he may take it out, he should pray in a closed room, without clothes. The same is the rule if there are no clothes other than ghasbi or made from a dead animal or from a haraam animal. If there are no clothes except a najis one and it is not possible to cleanse it, he should pray wearing that same clothes.
