Is it permissible to pray wearing half-sleeved clothes?

salah in half sleeve is makruh, however if weather is too hot [or body is too hot] then it maybe ok, for concentration and feeling spirituality is very important in salah and feeling too hot and agitated will disrupt that

Hahaha subhanallah . Then imagine our sisters that wear niqab or hijab with abaya subhanallah alhamdulillah . I would prefer the hot weather of the dunya than the hot of the akhira ( hellfire ) .

Yes i heard it so that it s Makruh . But the other statement seems is from your Qiyas and i did think so. But a daleel if you have any, will be most appreciated, Bro.

why is it makruh, the arms arent part of the awrah, or are they? i heard men have to cover their shoulders, along with the awrah of course.

yes it is qiyas [never really thought of it that way; makes me feel like a 'scholar' now [OOPS gotta say this is not a fatwa! ]


however i am following a scholarly precedence:


It is recommended to keep your eyes open in prayer, looking down towards your place of prostration while standing, your feet while bowing, your nose while prostrating, and between your thighs when sitting.


However, if you cannot maintain concentration, then it is not disliked to close your eyes. Some scholars held that one should still close your eyes, for it is the outward practice of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), while others argued that it would be BETTER to close one’s eyes in such a case, for the inward practice of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and the essence of the prayer, is attentiveness (khushu`) and presence of heart with Allah.


And Allah knows best.

so it seems very straight forward to apply it here too as bearing the arms is not sin anyway

it is Makrooh since it is ‘opposing the way of the Prophet (SAS)’.
