The ruling on praying on a floor covered with impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He bless you. We move on to another letter sent by a questioner who says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on praying on a floor covered with impurity? I prayed several prayers in an apartment, and the owner of the apartment later informed us that the floor was not pure after a year, when we returned to it during the vacation. What is the ruling in this case? If the apartment is spacious
Answer:
and the impurity is in one part of it, and you did not know that you were praying on impurity, the default is that the prayer is valid until it becomes clear to you that the spot on which you prayed is impure. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is if a person prays while unaware of the impurity, whether in his tawbah or in his rak'ah, and he completes the prayer and finishes it, his prayer is valid, if Allah wills.
