What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِيكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَكُونُ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْكَ مِثْلَ جَنَاحَيِ اَلْخُطَّافِ.
Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that Imam عليه السلام said: "The minimum acceptable covering for you to pray in is to have something on your shoulders, like the wings of a swallow”.
