Salaam,

I would like to know whether it is permissable for a person to pray fajr or any prayer in his night time clothes.
I have heard differently and am not sure about this.

It's allowed but the rule to remember is that any clothes that you cannot wear in front of general public/people, you should not pray in those clothes because you should atleast dress in front of Allah how you would dress infront of people.

Yes, definately, and this is what I've learnt. However, would it make one's salah Makruh Tanzihan or Tahriman? I'd venture to say it would be Tanzihan, and thus not necessitating repetition, but just would like to make sure. . .

Its an obvious point but just wanted to add that if one is sleeping with their husband/wife then one should ensure the night clothes are free from impurities. Sayyida Aisha reports that the Prophet would not offer salah in the clothes that he wore whilst sleeping with his family. (Tahawi)

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum wa-Rahmatullah

The following is drawn from the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh)

“Make Salaah wearing such clothes, that if a person were to visit you, you would not feel ashamed to talk and entertain your guest, wearing those clothes.

Many have the habit of performing Fajr Salaah in their pyjamas – but will not entertain family and friends dressed in the same manner. They will not enter the court of any judge or king dressed in such clothing. How then can a person enter the Court of the King of Kings, Allah Ta’ala, dressed in pyjamas ?

Allah Ta’ala in fact guides us to the same :

“O CHILDREN OF AADAM, WEAR YOUR BEAUTIFUL APPAREL AT EVERY TIME AND PLACE OF PRAYER…’
[Surah A'raaf 7 : 31]

Whilst the demand is to cover appropriately, encouragement is given to present oneself by wearing neat, clean, beautiful clothing within one’s means.

Many men perform Salaah in shirt and pants. If the pants is tight, it is showing disrespect to Salaah and is Makrooh. A person wearing such clothing should rather replace the shirt with a kurta or wear a jubba over the shirt. This, at least, would indicate to some respect and modesty. Ideally the person should be wearing the Sunnah libaas (dressing) of the kurta. This dressing has noor.

Women too should take care to cover themselves appropriately – more especially for Salaah. Many women read Salaah with semi-transparent clothing or scarves, which invalidates the Salaah.

There is a need for all to learn the masaa`il pertaining to Salaah, Taharah and other Ibaadah. Otherwise, the person is carrying out his duties but they are not valid, due to his or her ignorance.”

* It is Makrooh (disliked) to offer the Salaah in an undignified dress, as well as wearing garments that have animate pictures. Even though the Salaah will be valid, it will be defective.

Its obvious you cannot pray in the impure clothes. Maybe keep a thawb on stand by, what I call an "emergency thawb", or what I call "thawb on call" and then throw that on.

[ireleda]

I always get changed, it only takes 1 minute,

[oxinsnepe]

I have other clothes which I use to perform Salaah with and only Salaah for when I am home. They are what I could wear in front of others, but they are also only clean as they are used solely for the purpose of Salaah.

wa Allaahu Alam.
