What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ سَأَلَ رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمُخْتَضِبِ إِذَا تَمَكَّنَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ وَ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ أَ يُصَلِّي فِي خِضَابِهِ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَتْ خِرْقَتُهُ طَاهِرَةً وَ كَانَ مُتَوَضِّئاً وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تُصَلِّيَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ هِيَ مُخْتَضِبَةٌ وَ يَدَاهَا مَرْبُوطَتَانِ.
Rifa'ah ibn Musa asked Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام about a person who is dyed (with henna or similar) and whether they can pray while in this state if they are able to perform prostration and recitation. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, as long as their cloth (used during the process) is pure and they are in a state of wudu (ritual purity). There is also no issue if a woman prays while She is dyed and her hands are bound (covered)."
