Wearing semi transparent clothing

Q:  Some of my clothes are only see-through when looked at closely. The skin can only be seen underneath if there is enough light and if I look very closely but to an onlooker from afar, they would not be able to see my skin. Am I allowed to wear such clothes during Namaaz, which are opaque and not transparent but only see-through from a near distance?

A: This is a type of see-through clothing. The satr area must be well covered so that it is not visible under all circumstances.

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