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.
