The question

Does prayer become invalid by wearing clothes that have holes revealing the minor or major nakedness, knowing that this is the case? And does the forgiveness of Sheikh al-Islam for a small amount of nakedness and impurity include the case of knowing about the slight exposure before prayer?

The answer

If someone prays knowing that a part of their awrah (private parts) is uncovered, even a small amount, their prayer is invalid and must be repeated. This is the ruling given in fatwas. Some jurists are of the opinion that the prayer is not invalidated by a small amount of awrah being uncovered intentionally, but the first opinion is the most correct one within the Hanbali school of thought. Therefore, intentionally uncovering a small amount of the awrah invalidates the prayer.
