Question: 

What is the ruling on
performing Salaah without sleeves, is it permissible,makrooh, being disrespectful,
haraam or allowed? 


Answer: 

Wearing a sleeveless or short sleeved garment and performing Salaah is a practice that is in contrast to the Sunnah and should therefore be avoided.(Fataawa Mahmudiyyah Vol. 6 Pg. 654) 

If the sleeveless garment is such that wearing it in front of reputable people is regarded as unethical, then presenting oneself before Allah whilst performing Salaah in such a garment will be Makrooh

(detested). (Shaami Vol. 1 Pg. 640) 

AND ALLAH TA'AALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST
