Source: Shuroot-us-salaah wa Arkaanuhaa wa Waajibaatuhaa(The conditions, Pillars and Requirements of the Prayer. (Imam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaab. The conditions for prayer are nine 1) Islaam; 2) Sanity; 3) Reaching the age of maturity; 4) Lack of Ritual impurity [i.e ablution]; 5) Removal of Filth; 6) Covering the Awrah; 7) Entrance of the proper time; 8) Facing the Qiblah; 9) The Intention. The sixth condition - Sitr ul Awrah: the people have unanimously agreed that the Prayer of one who prays naked while having ability (to cloth himself) is invalid. The boundary of the Awrah for a man are from the navel to his knees, and the same applies to a female slave. As for a free woman, all of her body is Awrah except for her face. Translators notes: 1) a man must also cover his shoulder in prayer as well based on the hadeeth of Abu Harairah in which the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam) said: None of you should pray in a single garment with which no part of it being over the shoulders. 2) In prayer, a woman MUST cover her whole body, with the exception of her face and hands. Her dress MUST also be wide enough to cover the upper part of her feet.(the lower part is that which touches the ground)
