Noticing a hole in one's clothing after performing many Salaah

· 18 Muharram 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I've prayed Salaah with a garment on many occassions and just recently discovered a hole in it slightly above the knees. Since the male awra is above the knees does that mean all of those prayers were invalid, and do I have to make them up? Also do skinny jeans invalidate salah since they show the shape of the legs?

Answer

1) The salaah is valid.

2) Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/10510.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
