Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man wakes up from sleep in a state of major ritual impurity, and there is only the time for one unit of prayer left before the time for prayer ends. He asks: Does he prioritize ritual purity or the time?
Answer:
If he has water available, he prioritizes ritual purity. He prays while in a state of major ritual impurity; he prioritizes ritual purity if he has water available. However, if he has to search for water or needs to go out to buy it, he performs dry ablution with clean earth and prays. Praise be to Allah. But if he has water available, he does not pray until he performs the full ritual bath, even if the time passes. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
