USING OTHER CLOTHING BESIDES VEIL (TELEKUNG) DURING SOLAT

There is evidence from Quranic verses related to obligations to cover the aurat as Allah says:

يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ

Meaning: "O son of Adam, wear beautiful clothes every time you enter the mosque". (Al-Araf: 31)

According to Ibn Abbas r.a, what is required here is a dress when praying. And His words again:

يَا أَسْمَاءُ. إنَّ اْلَمَرْأَةَ إِذَا بلغَتِ المحيضَ لَمْ يَصلُحْ أن يُرى مِنْهَا إلَّا هَذَا وَهَذا ، وأشارَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ وَكَفَّيهِ.

Meaning: "O Asma ', the daughter of an age when menstruation (puberty) occurs, all cannot be seen except this and this. Prophet Muhammad shows the face and both his hands ".

According to the book Fiqh & Islamic Jurisprudence by Dr. Wahba Zuhayli, one of the conditions for covering the aurat should be thick and not thin (see through). It is wajib to cover the aurat with a thick cloth or leather or paper that can hide the colour of the skin. If the fabric is thin or sparse that can reveal nothing underneath the limb there appeared behind the cloth or skin colour such as bright or reddish, it is not legitimate to pray with him for not achieving the goal of closing the genitalia.

Conversely, if the fabric can hide the colour, but the shape and size of the body, then pray with valid because it can not be avoided even if wearing a thick cloth. However, in the opinion of the school of Shafi'i scholars, such as cloth worn by women disliked it and make mistakes al-awla for men. In the opinion of Shafi'i Jurist, provided that the cover is something that does not show colour, though the murky water, or soil. But can not use the narrow sheath and darkness as a cover nakedness. In their opinion, the lid must be holy.

 

1. T-shirt + Jeans + Case Sleeve

As you know, if we want to pray with the clothing worn we are outside our home such as t-shirts, jeans and arm sleeves, we need ensure the clothes we are wearing is appropriate for solat. If the clothes character are thick, loose (does not reveal the shape of the body) and not see-through (does not show colour of skin), then it is harus to be used for solat. In addition, the clothing must be clean of unclean elements (najis) that can void (batal) our solat.

2. Dress + Stockings

Gown or dress is a type of women's clothing such as lengthy robes but varies according to the latest styles and trends and consist of different colours, textiles and forms according to their preferences. Not all dresses meet the criteria of covering the aurat because most of this kind of dress are tailored to the shape of the wearer's body and the cloth used are usually thin. If you want to wear them for solat, we need to make sure the dress does not reveal the shape of the body and it is not the see through type of clothes that can reveal the colour our skin. The clothing must also be loose. We should also wear stocking that will not reveal the colour of our skin, thus wearing stockings made out of thick materials will suffice.

3. Veil (Hijab) + T-shirt (see figure)

Veil (hijab) that is allowed to be worn during solat is a veil that covers her hair perfectly, thick enough to not reveal the neck and falls until it covers the chest. If the veil (hijab) used meet these requirements, it is harus to use it during solat. It is makruh to wear a tight t-shirt that reveals the shape of our body during solat. Tight clothing will usually reveal the hips and breasts, unless we look at other initiatives to cover it.

 

Based on the ulamak of Maliki’s opinion, someone who does not have a covering for the aurat, solat can be performed in the nude because covering the aurat is obligatory when you are able and is not required when you are unable. naked shall pray for as cover themselves prosecuted when I can, then miscarried claim if helpless. Based on the ulamak of Hannbali’s opinion, when there is no clothing or covering the solat needs to be performed while sitting and using signs. Based on the opinion of ulamak of Syafie and Hanafi, it is obligatory (wajib) to perform the solat although dirt is used on the body as covering.

According to Hanafi and Maliki, the darkness is adequate as a cover under the circumstances, while the most authentic opinion among the ulamak of Shafie, the hand must be used as cover, as is the opinion of the ulamak of Hanbali. According to the Shafie, the solat needs to be done standing to complete the rukun of solat. While in the opinion of both Hanafi and Hambali solat must be performed while sitting and signs are used for the rukuk and sujud.

In conclusion, solat jemaah is harus for those who do not have clothes. Therefore, based on the opinion of Shafie and Hanbali, they can perform the solat alone or as a jemaah. If the solat is done as a jemaah, the imam should stand in the middle of the saf, and all the makmum needs to be in a line so that they cannot see each other’s aurat. However, if two saf needs to be made, everyone should pray with their eyes closed.

In the view of the Shafie, if all the makmum is blind or in a dark place, it is harus to perform the solat as a jemaah. The hukum on performing the solat as a jemaah or alone is the same. This clearly shows that the obligation to perform the solat is wajib on everybody who has reached puberty (baligh),no matter what the circumstances is. This is because the solat is a form of servitude to Allah SAW that needs to be done as Allah says:

إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا

Meaning: “Surely solat is made obligatory for the believers at their prescribed time.”(An-Nisa :103)
