What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ رَوَى أَبُو جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ ثَوْبِ اَلْمَجُوسِيِّ أَلْبَسُهُ وَ أُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَشْرَبُونَ اَلْخَمْرَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ نَحْنُ نَشْتَرِي اَلثِّيَابَ اَلسَّابِرِيَّةَ فَنَلْبَسُهَا وَ لاَ نَغْسِلُهَا.
Abu Jamila narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that he asked him about wearing the garment of a Magian (Zoroastrian) and praying in it. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام replied: "Yes." Then he asked: "But they drink wine." He عليه السلام said: "Yes, we buy Sabiriyyah garments (a type of fabric) and wear them without washing."
