What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not

وَقَالَ زُرَارَةُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِيَّاكَ وَ اِلْتِحَافَ اَلصَّمَّاءِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا اَلصَّمَّاءُ قَالَ «أَنْ تُدْخِلَ اَلثَّوْبَ مِنْ تَحْتِ جَنَاحِكَ فَتَجْعَلَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبٍ وَاحِدٍ.
Zurarah narrated that Abu Ja'far, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "Beware of the 'wrapped shroud' (al-samma')." I asked: "And what is the 'wrapped shroud'?" Imam عليه السلام said: "It is when you take your garment under your arm and place it over one shoulder”.
