What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ سَأَلَ حَبِيبُ بْنُ اَلْمُعَلَّى أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ اَلسَّهْوِ فَمَا أَحْفَظُ صَلاَتِي إِلاَّ بِخَاتَمِي أُحَوِّلُهُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ.
Habib ibn al-Mu'alla asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, saying: "I am a man who experiences frequent forgetfulness, so I can only maintain focus in my prayer by moving my ring from one finger to another." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in that."
