Does the passing of the wife in short and transparent clothes in front of her husband while he is praying at home affect the validity of his prayer, knowing that he does not feel aroused by that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is for the worshiper to use a sutrah (an object placed in front of one during prayer). It is forbidden to pass between the worshiper and his sutrah, or close to him if there is no sutrah, and the one who passes in such a way is sinful by agreement. Some scholars are of the opinion that the prayer of a worshiper becomes invalid if a woman, a donkey, or a black dog passes in front of him, provided there is no sutrah in front of him, and they supported this with hadiths. However, the majority of scholars are of the opinion that the prayer does not become invalid by this.
