What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ سَرَاوِيلُ فَقَالَ «يَحُلُّ اَلتِّكَّةَ مِنْهُ فَيَضَعُهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَ يُصَلِّي وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ سَيْفٌ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ ثَوْبٌ فَلْيَتَقَلَّدِ اَلسَّيْفَ وَ يُصَلِّي قَائِماً.
It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Sinan from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, was asked about a man who has nothing but trousers (for covering). Imam عليه السلام said: "He should untie the waistband and place it over his shoulder and pray. If he has a sword but no garment, he should hang the sword around himself and pray standing”.
