The Ruling on Praying with Exposed Arms or in Short Clothing
What is the ruling for someone who prays while wearing short clothing or exposing their arms?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The arm is part of the 'awrah, so it is sinful to expose any part of it. If the exposure reaches a quarter of the arm, it invalidates the prayer completely. And God knows best.
