Question

During winter if a person performs Salah whilst hanging his jacket off his shoulders without putting his hands into his sleeves, will his Salah be valid?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, it is Makruh to do Sadal. Sadal is to hang a piece of clothing off of one's body whilst in Salah.[1]

Accordingly, it will be Makruh to hang one's jacket off of one's shoulders without putting one's arms into the sleeves.

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best

مختصر القدوري (ص: 30)

ويكره للمصلي أن يعبث بثوبه أو بجسدهن ولا يقلب الحصى إلا أن لا يمكنه السجود فيسويه مرة واحدة ولا يفرقع أصابعه ولا يتخصر ولا يسدل ثوبه

الهداية في شرح بداية المبتدي المكتبة الإسلامية (1/ 64)

ولا يسدل ثوبه لأنه عليه الصلاة والسلام نهى عن السدل وهو أن يجعل ثوبه على رأسه وكتفيه ثم يرسل أطرافه من جوانبه

(قَوْلُهُ: وَلَا يُسْدِلُ ثَوْبَهُ) وَهُوَ أَنْ يُلْقِيَهُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إلَى قَدَمَيْهِ أَوْ يَضَعَ الرِّدَاءَ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَعْطِفْهُ عَلَى بَعْضِهِ
