f:44 -    Offering Salaat in reversed clothing
 Country : Australia,
Name : Ubaid
Question:     Can we offer Salaat in reverse clothing?
............................................................................
Answer:     Salaat is worship of the Lord Almighty Allah. For this, apart from cleanliness (Taharah), we should also be particular about beauty and adornment.  Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran:

O Children of Adam! Dress up decently every time you offer Prayer. And eat and drink, but do not spend extravagantly because certainly He does not like the extravagant.  Surah A’araaf (7:31)

For this reason, the Jurists have said that it is disliked that person should offer Salaat in such clothing which he/she wears while working in the house and would not prefer to wear those clothes while meeting somebody of stature.

Obviously, a person does not meet any person of stature and high rank in reverse clothing or does not meet the scholars and the pious people in such clothes.  So, the Jurists have ruled it to be Undesirable.

As given in Radd Ul Muhtaar, Vol. 1, Kitab us Salaat, Pg No: 474.

And Allah knows best.
