Awrah of a person being exposed during salaah
Question
If quarter of the Awrah is exposed for less than three subhaanAllah, is the salaah valid?
Answer
Yes, this is in the case where it was done unintentionally. If it was done intentionally, then the salaah will break immediately (i.e. even before the time of three subhaanallahs).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
