The thigh being part of the awrah

Q: Suppose a man came and sat in the masjid. He had torn pants above the thigh. Another man saw him and was trying to correct him, suddenly he got the thought that if he is sure that awrah uncovred will be invalidating prayer? He could not get any hadith or ayah that time in his mind. He became uncertain. So should he correct or not?

A: Yes, the thigh is awrah. He should correct him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
