The Ruling on Praying with an Ablution Performed Without Intention or for a Voluntary Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, a questioner says: If a man performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer) without an intention, or for a nafilah (voluntary prayer), is it permissible for him to pray the fard (obligatory) prayer with that wudu'?
Answer:
Without a doubt, if one performs a complete ablution, he may pray with it as much as he wishes of obligatory and voluntary prayers, because his state of ritual impurity has been lifted by this ablution. Therefore, his purity is not invalidated except by one of the things that break the ablution.
