#475: Praying with Dirty Workshop Clothes
QUESTION
” As Salaam ‘Alaykum everyone. Pls can a bricklayer or automobile Engineer observe Solat with his(Dirty) working cloth?”
ANSWER
Wa alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh.
Alhamdulillāh, it is recommended in the Sharī’a to always approach Allāh in Salāt in an excellent attire. This is because there is barakah in that and in it is a form of veneration.
Likewise, it helps you and others that pray alongside you to attain Sakīnah (tranquility) and concentration in the Salāt.
But when you observe the Salāt in such dirty clothes, you have not venerated Allāh as He deserves and will lose some form of Sakīnah definitely in your Salāt.
Therefore, if by so doing, you lose concentration in the Salāt or harm others who pray beside you, then this act of yours is Harām.
However, your Salāt remains intact if there are no Najāsah on the said clothing but you would lose a lot of rewards accordingly.
Therefore what we advise you to do is to always change your dress whenever you are about to observe Salāt.
Bārakallāhu fīkum
Jazākumullāhu Khayran.
