Is it permissible to pray in clothes that have holes at thigh level?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If what is beneath the holes in the garment covers the awrah (thigh), then the prayer is valid.
However, if the holes are exposed: 1. If the exposure was due to forgetfulness and was slight, the prayer is valid. 2. If it was not slight but was exposed for a short time unintentionally, the prayer is valid. 3. If the thigh is exposed in a manner other than the two aforementioned cases, the prayer is invalidated according to the majority of scholars, whereas it is not invalidated according to the Malikis.
