Fatwa ID: 01683
Answered by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah
Question:
What is the ruling for one who offers salah with forearms and elbows exposed? I heard khilaaf awlaa but then someone said makrooh?
Answer:
Having your forearms exposed in salah is considered Makruh Tanzihi. (Nurul Idah p.166) Makruh Tanzihi and Khilaf Awla more or less mean the same thing.
