Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Culture and Religious Studies Book - 3 Lesson 20 : Conditions For Dress During Prayers The clothes worn by a person during prayers must fulfill six conditions.: I. Taharat (Cleanliness). If anyone intentionally says his prayers with clothes that are najis, his prayer will be automatically invalid. Situation 1: If someone prays while with najis clothing, his prayer will be void.

This is true even if he does not know that praying with najis clothes makes salaat batil. When he learns this, he must repay his salaat. Situation 2: If a person does not know that his clothes are najis and after completing his prayers, he discovers this, then his prayer is accepted. Situation 3: If a person forgets that his clothes are najis and remembers this while praying or after completing his prayers, he has to repeat his salaat again.

If the time of prayer has passed, then he must pray qadha. If he doubts whether his clothes were najis, then his pray will be valid only if this doubt arose after he completed his prayers. Situation 4: If a person wears clean and taahir clothes and then realizes after prayers that there was some najasat on it, his prayer will be valid. II. Mubah (Permissible). If one intentionally uses another's clothes without the owner's permission, his prayer will be batil.

If he uses another's clothes, knowing that the owner would not agree if asked then his prayer will be baatil even if the clothes are only a part of his whole outfit e.g. a shirt. Situation 1: If a person does not know or forgets that his clothes are borrowed then his prayer is acceptable. III. Clothes worn in prayers should not be made from the dead body of animals whose blood does not gush when slaughtered. IV.

The clothes worn by a person during salaat should not be made from parts of animal whose meat is haraam - even if it is only the hair of the animal - as this would make his prayer invalid. V. If the person offering prayers is male, his clothes should not have gold embroidery on them. Situation 1: If a man prays while wearing jewellry or a watch made of gold, his prayers become invalid. For women however, this is allowed.

Situation 2: Golden rings, earrings, chain, watches, and ribbons are all haram for men to wear, whether in prayer or not. For women, it is proper to wear such articles . VI. The clothes of a man who is praying should not be made of silk. Silk, like gold, is haram for men to wear even under other circumstances.
