I have some follow-up questions regarding the man's awrah after reading a post by Akh Moosaa in a different thread.
quote:
The man's 'awrah must be covered, and his 'awrah is from his navel to his knees (while there is some differing about the lower part of the thigh), and the shoulders must be covered as well. However, the shoulders are not considered 'awrah, so if a man prays without covering his shoulders, then he is sinful for doing that knowingly, and his salaah is acceptable. However the one who does not cover his 'awrah (and he is able to), then his salaah is null and void, as covering the 'awrah is from the conditions for the acceptibility of a person's prayer...
1.) Is it correct to say that a man's awrah is from the top of the navel to the top of the knees?
2.) Does a man's awrah in salah differ from a man's awrah outside of salah?
3.) How do we explain the hadeeth which mentions that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam)'s thighs were uncovered when Abu Bakr and Umar (radhiyallaahu 'anhumaa) were granted permission to enter the room, but the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) covered his thighs when Uthmaan (radhiyallaahu 'anhu)was granted permission to enter?
