What is the concept of "kashf al-thawb" (tucking up garments) in prayer, according to our current reality regarding common clothes or shirts?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade tucking up the garment and hair in prayer. This prohibition includes tucking up during the prayer and before it. The meaning of tucking up is gathering the garment at the waist, or tightening the belt, or rolling up the sleeves. The wisdom behind this prohibition is to prevent these actions from prostrating with the worshiper. Some scholars connected this to arrogance.
