Q. Is it okay to fold ones sleeves and perform Salaah?
A. It is Makrooh (disliked) to fold ones Kurta sleeves etc. without necessity and perform Salaah as it is considered disrespectful. (Shaami 1/640) A person should unfold his sleeves before commencing Salaah. This is more respectful and will draw more humility to ones Salaah.
