Summary
It is permissible to pray in sleepwear as long as the clothing is clean of impurities and covers the aurah properly. This follows the legal maxim that the default state of things is purity unless there is proof of impurity. Even so, it is better to wear nicer, neat and suitable clothing as preparation for standing before God.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kembali kepada persoalan yang dikemukakan, harus menggunakan pakaian tidur untuk solat selagi mana pakaian itu bersih dan suci dari segala najis serta menutup aurat.
