What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَقَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ: «اَلسَّيْفُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلرِّدَاءِ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ مَا لَمْ تَرَ فِيهِ دَماً وَ اَلْقَوْسُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلرِّدَاءِ.
The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "A sword is like a garment; you may pray with it as long as you do not see any blood on it. A bow is also like a garment."
