Whoever prays while seeing his nakedness from the opening of his shirt from the top

Question
What is the ruling for someone who prays while seeing his nakedness from the opening of his shirt from the top?
Answer
His prayer is valid; because the condition is to cover the private parts from the sides correctly, so it does not harm him to look at his private parts from his pocket - the pocket: from the shirt and similar, where the head enters when wearing it - and it is also not harmful if someone looks at his private parts from under his garment; because the effort to prevent it is a hardship. See: Maraqi al-Falah p. 210-211, Al-Wiqayah and its explanation by Sadr al-Shari'ah 1: 143, Radd al-Muhtar 1: 408, Bada'i al-Sana'i 1: 117, and Al-Hadiyyah al-'Alaiyyah p. 72.
