In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Dear Muslim obeying God, Allah says in the Holy Qur'an addressing mankind who submit to his follow His order :
"Yaa banii Adam khudzuu ziinatakum 'inda kulli masjidin"
By decency it is meant the cover of genitals, the external sexual organs of the body. The Mosque signifies Prayers. The interpretation of this sign - O people cover your external sexual organs whwn you attend prayers and stand before God.
The Qur'anic directive makes the cover of genitals a condition for right prayers. A worshipper's prayers are un acceptable if his genitals are exposed without cover. Do the genital cover restrictions apply to both man and women alike and to the same extend?
The above sign of the Qur'an is directed to both sexes without distinction, although the genital restriction between male and female differ considerably. Whereas the cwhole body of a female needs to be covered especially in prayers with the exception of face and hands, the only parts of the man's body that ought to be covered are those located beween the navel and the knee.
Mothers of Believers (Um al-Muminin) Um Salma (God blessed her) had asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) whwter a woman could perform paryers in a gown and head cover without full dress? He replied : "Yes provided the garments covers the upper parts of the feet entirely".
As far as man is concerned, it is immaterial whwther he wear a head dress or not while performing prayers.
The turn the face towards "Qiblat" (1) is conditional for the maintenance of perfection i prayers as revealed in thi sign of the Holy Qura'an :
"fawalli wajhaka syatra al-masjidi al-haram wa haituma kuntum fa walluu wujuuhakum syathrah"
Therefore if the is in sacred Mosque he should turn his face properly toward the Holy Ka'bah, and never turn elesewhere, otherwhise, his prayers would not be accepted. The attention of pilgrims is particularly drawn to this point in allh kinds of prayers including The Five obligatory prayers and the voluntary ones.
Any negligence in the regard entails a spoil of the prayers and a losss of efforts expended in the ablution and other rites which precede the payers.
When a Muslim travelling in a desert or arriving in a non-Islamic Country where no Muazin (2) is available he should do his best to find out exact time or prayers at least the due time to his immense satisfaction, then he should start praying.
