Interrupting the prayer due to the effect of whispers that confront the worshipper
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 17849 )
Q 1: I was on the coastal road to al-Lith , with my wife. When the time for the Maghrib prayer arrived, I was in a state of major ritual impurity on the road, with my car in front of me and my wife inside it. After I established the prayer and began reciting al-Fatihah, a car stopped behind me. I did not know how many people were in it, but I heard them saying the takbir behind me. Satan whispered to me, given the many problems in this time, and I feared for myself and my family. I left the prayer, got into my car, started it, and drove away, leaving them standing. I ask for your guidance in this matter.
A 1: You made a mistake in interrupting your prayer due to the effect of the whispers that confronted you, which caused you to have a bad opinion of those who lined up behind you in prayer. It is obligatory for you to have a good opinion of your brothers and to complete the prayer you had started. They did well by joining you in prayer in order to achieve the congregation. Therefore, you must now repent to Allah for this action that occurred from you, and repeat the prayer if you have not already done so.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
