 By Shaykh ’Abdul ’Azeez Ibn Baaz (d.1420H) (rahimahullaah)
Does wearing trousers in Prayer cause ones 'awrah (private area) to be exposed?
This is a more complete form of covering the awrah. Likewise, prayer in an izaar (a loose lower garment) is more preferable than prayer in a pair of trousers without a long short - since the izaar is far better in covering the awrah than a pair of trousers.
Sometimes whilst praying - especially during rukoo’ (bowing) and sujood (prostration) - part of the ’awrah (private parts) of person becomes exposed due to his wearing trousers. So what is the ruling of wearing trousers while praying?
Answer:
"If a man’s trousers cover what is between his knees and his navel and are loose-fitting, wide and baggy, then it fulfills the condition for the correctness of the Prayer. However, what is more preferable is to where a qamees (long shirt) - which reaches half way down to the shins, or just above the ankle-bone - over the trousers. This is a more complete form of covering the awrah. Likewise, prayer in an izaar (a loose lower garment) is more preferable than prayer in a pair of trousers without a long short - since the izaar is far better in covering the awrah than a pair of trousers."
