Home Hadith Hadith 362
A person asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "What should a Muhrim wear?" He replied, "He should not wear
shirts, trousers, a burnus (a hooded cloak), or clothes which are stained with saffron or Wars (a kind of
perfume). Whoever does not find a sandal to wear can wear Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or
leather), but these should be cut short so as not to cover the ankles.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 8, Hadith 18

A man stood up and asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about praying in a single garment. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Has
every one of you two garments?" A man put a similar question to `Umar on which he replied, "When
Allah makes you wealthier then you should clothe yourself properly during prayers. Otherwise one
can pray with an Izar and a Rida' (a sheet covering the upper part of the body.) Izar and a shirt, Izar
and a Qaba', trousers and a Rida, trousers and a shirt or trousers and a Qaba', Tubban and a Qaba' or
Tubban and a shirt." (The narrator added, "I think that he also said a Tubban and a Rida. ")
