Praying with Pant Legs Rolled up

June 12, 2012



assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barkatuh

alhumdulillah.

These days we see a common sight in masajids -

  • a brother approaches the masjid,
  • bends down rolls up his pant / trousers above ankles,
  • goes in prays salaah,
  • exits,
  • un-rolls his pant/trousers (to get back to the position of below the ankles!) and
  • leaves happily thinking he has pleased Allah!

SubhanAllah, he could not have been further from the truth.

For a Muslim brother t0 keep his lower garment above the ankles is obligatory at all times – not only in salaah. In addition, as you can read below, it is not permissible to tuck up / roll the pants or trousers in salaah – same applies for sleeves.

From IslamQA,

Firstly: 

There are a number of hadeeths which forbid rolling up the garment when praying.

Al-Bukhaari (812) and Muslim (490) narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: the forehead – and he pointed to his nose – the hands, the feet and the ends of the feet (i.e., toes), and not to tuck up my garment or hair."

Tucking up the garment or hair means gathering it together to prevent it falling on the floor when one prostrates.

An-Nawawi said:

The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is not allowed to pray with the garment, sleeves and so on rolled up. … All of that is not allowed according to scholarly consensus; it is makrooh in the same that it is discouraged, so if a person prays like that he has done something wrong but his prayer is still valid. Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jareer at-Tabari quoted as evidence scholarly consensus. Ibn al-Mundhir narrated that the one who does that should repeat his prayer, and he narrated this view from al-Hasan al-Basri. End quote.

It says in Tuhfat al-Minhaaj, 2/161-162:

It is makrooh for the one who is praying to tuck up his hair by putting it together or putting it under his headgear, or to tuck up his garment, such as rolling up his sleeve or hem. End quote.

Based on that, tucking or rolling the pants up is makrooh when praying.

Secondly: 

There are ahaadeeth which forbid letting the garment hang down or come lower than the ankles (isbaal).

Al-Bukhaari (5787) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever of the izaar comes lower than the ankles is in the Fire."

Abu Dawood (4084) narrated from Abu Juray Jaabir ibn Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Beware of letting the garment come below the ankles, for that is conceit and Allaah does not like conceit."

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood

So it is not permissible for a man to make his garment so long that it comes below the ankles. If he insists on letting it come below the ankles and wants to pray wearing these pants, then if he leaves them as they are he will be praying with his garment coming below the ankles, and if he rolls them up to come above the ankles, he will be praying with his garment tucked up. In this case we have a conflict between two prohibitions: the prohibition on letting the garment come below the ankle and the prohibition on rolling up the garment when praying. There is no doubt that the ruling on letting the garment come below the ankle is more stringent, because that is a major sin. As for rolling up the garment when praying, it is makrooh (disliked). If there is a conflict then precedence must be given to that which is more important, which is avoiding letting the garment come below the ankle. In that case he should roll up his garment until it comes above the ankle.

Shaykh 'Abd ar-Rahmaan as-Suhaym was asked:

I tuck up my pants when praying so that I will not be letting them come below the ankles, but the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade tucking up the garment when praying. Does this apply to tucking up the pants? What is the ruling on that?

He replied:

If the pants or trousers come below the ankle, then they must be lifted up, in prayer or otherwise. In fact it is not permissible for them to touch the ankle because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "The izaar (lower garment) should come to mid-calf, but if you insist it may come lower, and if you insist it may come to the bottom of the calf, but it should not touch the ankles."

Narrated by Imam Ahmad and an-Nasaa'i.

Tucking up the pants does not come under this prohibition because lifting the izaar away from the ankles is a shar'i requirement; in fact it is obligatory, whereas the prohibition on tucking up the garment or the hair signifies that it is makrooh (disliked).

End quote.

Thirdly: 

With regard to a woman praying in rolled up pants, women are forbidden to pray wearing pants whether they are rolled up or otherwise.

If she goes against that and prays wearing pants, the prayer is valid in and of itself.

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo' (3/176): If it covers the colour (of the skin) but shows the shape of the body such as the knee and buttock, and the like, then the prayer is valid because the condition of covering the body was fulfilled. ad-Daarimi and the author of al-Bayaan narrated a view that it is not valid if it shows the shape, but this is an obvious mistake. End quote.

If a woman prays wearing pants, she should not roll them up because there is no need for that, as what she is required to do is to cover the tops of her feet when praying, and because the prohibition on making the garment longer then the ankles applies only to men and does not include women.

And Allah knows best.

The Harley Mechanic
 
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag, and asked, "So, Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The Siachen glacier, located in the eastern Karakoram range in the Himalaya Mountains, is one of the five largest glaciers in the Karakoram, situated at an average altitude of 18,000 feet above sea level. At 78 km long, it is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. Most of the Siachen Glacier falls under the LoC (Line of Control), a hotly contested territory between Pakistan and India. Since 1984, both countries have been fighting intermittently for sovereignty over this region, because of which the Siachen glacier is sometimes called the highest battleground on earth.

The conflict in Siachen stems from the incompletely demarcated territory on the map of this region. After the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971, an agreement was signed between the two countries in 1972, which came to be known as the Shimla Agreement, but it failed to clearly mention who controlled the glacier. UN officials presumed there would be no dispute between India and Pakistan over such a cold and barren region. They were wrong.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, in the pretext of climbing the high peaks on this glacier, Pakistan sent expeditions with permits issued by the Government of Pakistan. The idea was to reinforce claim on the area, as these expeditions arrived with a permit obtained from the Government of Pakistan.

In 1984, when the Pakistan army attempted to move into the region, India launched a successful military operation and has since maintained control over all of the Siachen Glacier and its tributaries. Between 1984 and 1999, frequent skirmishes took place between India and Pakistan. However, more soldiers have died in Siachen from harsh weather conditions than from enemy firing. Both India and Pakistan maintain permanent military presence in the region at a height of over 6,000 metres (20,000 ft), and continue to deploy thousands of troops in Siachen.

Although a cease-fire went into effect in 2003, by then the two sides had lost an estimated 2,000 personnel primarily due to frostbite, avalanches and other complications. Together, the nations have about 150 manned outposts along the glacier, with some 3,000 troops each. Official figures for maintaining these outposts are put at ~$300 and ~$200 million for India and Pakistan respectively.

The Siachen glacier also boasts of the world's highest helipad built by India at Point Sonam, 21,000 feet (6,400 m) above the sea level, to supply its troops. India also installed the world's highest telephone booth on the glacier.

Aside from the Indian and Pakistani military presence, the glacier region is unpopulated. The nearest civilian settlement is the village of Warshi, 10 miles downstream from the Indian base camp. The region is also highly remote with limited road connectivity. On the Indian side, roads go only as far as the military base camp at Dzingrulma 72 km from the top of the glacier.
