    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa182/182=M/1429)

     

    The jurists have said that it is undesirable to perform salah while raising sleeves above elbow. It is in Muraqi Al-Falah: و تشمیر کمیہ عنھما للنھی عنہ لما فیہ من الجفاء المنافی للخشوع

    Though there is difference between a half-sleeved-shirt and raising sleeves but both are similar; therefore salah in half-sleeved-shirt without any proper reason will be makrooh.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
