Can Men Pray with Short or Folded Sleeves?
Can men pray with short or folded sleeves?
A person who establishes prayer spiritually stands in the presence of Allah the Exalted. For this reason, one should wear proper clothes. In the past, establishing prayer with folded sleeve clothes was accepted as makruh because folding sleeves was considered as a sign of arrogance (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, I, 118). However, this perception is not in question today. Besides, it is permissible for men to establish prayer with short-sleeve shirts. Because this attitude, too, is no more an odd situation, as in folded or rolled up sleeves.
