What is the ruling on praying in tight clothes, and is it permissible for someone who wears them to lead people in prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Tight clothing is disliked for both men and women. The prescribed (way) is for clothing to be moderate, neither tight, revealing the size of the 'awrah, nor wide. Prayer performed in such clothing is valid if it covers (the 'awrah), but it is disliked for both believing men and believing women to wear such tight garments.
