What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخَاهُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عُرْيَانٍ وَ حَضَرَتِ اَلصَّلاَةُ فَأَصَابَ ثَوْباً نِصْفُهُ دَمٌ أَوْ كُلُّهُ دَمٌ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ أَوْ يُصَلِّي عُرْيَاناً قَالَ «إِنْ وَجَدَ مَاءً غَسَلَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَاءً صَلَّى فِيهِ وَ لاَ يُصَلِّ عُرْيَاناً.
Ali ibn Ja'far asked his brother Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام about a man who is without clothing and the time for prayer arrives, and he finds a garment that is half covered in blood or entirely covered in blood. Should he pray in it, or should he pray without clothing? Imam عليه السلام said: "If he finds water, he should wash it; if he does not find water, he should pray in it and should not pray without clothing”.
