If my trousers tear and expose my thigh during prayer, may I cover it with my hand until the prayer ends?

A person whose awrah is exposed during prayer, or who has no other garment that covers it fully, is permitted to cover part of it with his hand.

Summary
A person whose awrah is exposed during prayer, or who has no other garment that covers it fully, is permitted to cover part of it with his hand. This becomes obligatory if he has nothing else to cover the awrah with. The covering must not involve a touch that invalidates ablution, and the hand should stay in place until the prayer is finished.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam keadaan aurat terdedah ketika solat, atau jika tidak mempunyai pakaian lain yang menutup aurat dengan sempurna, seseorang itu dibolehkan untuk menggunakan tangannya untuk menutup sebahagian daripada auratnya ketika solat.
