The worshipper should not pray with bared shoulders due to the prohibition by the Prophet, peace be upon him. The majority of jurists consider the prayer valid, though disliked, while some consider it invalid based on the Prophet's saying: "A man should not pray in a single garment with nothing on his shoulder."
