What is the ruling on the prayer of a person who stole a shirt and prayed in it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prayer of one who prays in a stolen or usurped garment is valid, though sinful. This is the view of the majority and the most preponderant opinion, due to the disassociation of the aspects: covering the 'awrah is required for prayer, while wearing a forbidden garment is prohibited whether in prayer or otherwise.
