The question

Is tucking up one's trousers or thawb to avoid al-isbal included in the prohibition of folding clothes during prayer? And must one undo the usual tucking up of one's shirt when entering into prayer?

The answer

Trailing garments (isbal) is absolutely forbidden, whereas rolling up sleeves or garments (kaff al-thiyab) is reprehensible ( tanzihen) in prayer, unless there is a need for it. Therefore, rolling up trousers is better than praying with garments trailing. Rolling up garments is disliked in prayer if it is done for the sake of the prayer itself. However, if one rolls them up before prayer due to a need or for work, it is not disliked. Nevertheless, the majority opinion extends this dislike to every worshipper.
