Question
Is it permissible for a son to wear a short shirt, meaning one that does not reach the elbow (whether it's pajamas or just a shirt for trips where a long shirt to the elbow is not appropriate, etc.)?
Answer
Peace and blessings
When there is a specific need, it is permissible to wear short sleeves, and therefore, if there is a need to wear them during a trip and similar situations, it is allowed.
However, without a specific reason, one should cover up to the elbow, and therefore, during sleep, this should be observed.
