Is it permissible to recite kalma , Qurani ayats, duas when partially naked ( wearing shorts)?
Answer
The area between the navel and knee for a male is Satr (to be compulsorily covered).
It is not permissible to have that area open in front of anyone besides the wife. It is, therefore, advisable that the shorts cover the knees. It is permissible but discouraged to recite the Qur'aan and make Dhikr while wearing shorts that expose some part of the above knee.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
