(Book 8, Hadith 39) #35381
Praying in a Shift and Head-Covering

SUMMARY: It is permissible to pray in a shift and head-covering if the shift is long.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that a woman asked him for a decision, saying, "Waist-wrappers are painful to me. Can I pray in a shift and head-covering?" He replied, "Yes, if the shift is long".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، اسْتَفْتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ الْمِنْطَقَ يَشُقُّ عَلَىَّ أَفَأُصَلِّي فِي دِرْعٍ وَخِمَارٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَ الدِّرْعُ سَابِغًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the permissibility of praying in a shift and head-covering. The woman asked Hisham ibn Urwa for a decision on whether she could pray wearing waist-wrappers, which were painful for her. He replied that it was permissible to do so as long as the shift was long enough. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our clothing when we are praying, making sure that it is modest and appropriate for prayer. We should also be considerate of others who may not have access to comfortable clothing or may find certain types of clothing uncomfortable or painful, allowing them to wear something more suitable when they are praying.
