Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Going to the mosque in sleepwear is originally permissible as long as it covers the 'awrah (private parts). However, it may become disliked () if it goes against the prevailing custom in the country, or forbidden () if it is a garment of fame (thawb shuhra), due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever wears a garment of fame, Allah will clothe him with a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection." The prayer is valid while wearing this garment in all circumstances. It is better to go to the mosque in the most complete attire, as Allah Almighty says: "O Children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer."
