Tucking up the shirt

A: A person offering Salah has to be in his best form, as he is supposed to speak privately with his Lord in Salah. If he is able to cover his arms by unrolling his sleeves after Wudu’, (Part No. 5; Page No. 375) that will be better and more proper because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones and not to tuck up the cloth or hair.” (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) If the person is unable to do so due to a legal excuse or to hasten to catch up with the Rak‘ah (unit of Prayer) and so left his arms uncovered, there is no blame on him in that, and his Salah is valid because the arms are not of the limbs that must be covered in Salah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
