What is the ruling on the imamate of one who wears a military uniform?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the military uniform is loose and does not describe the body parts, there is no dislike in wearing it. The prayer led by the wearer is valid if he fulfills the conditions of imamate. If it covers the 'awrah but outlines the size of the limbs, then wearing it is disliked, but the prayer behind the wearer is valid if he is fit for imamate. However, it is preferable to pray behind someone else if available.
