Must a prayer performed in a garment that does not reveal the color of the skin except upon close scrutiny and contemplation be repeated, or is the prayer considered valid and not subject to repetition?
This statement represents the Maliki school of thought. Re-performing the prayer within its prescribed time is, according to the more authoritative of the two opinions, commendable (mustahabb) but not obligatory. Therefore, whoever prays in a garment with this description, their prayer is valid, and they are not obligated to re-perform it. However, re-performing it within the time is recommended according to the Malikis.
