The ruling on praying with a single ablution, impurity in the garment, and its effect on fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: One day, at the time of the midday prayer, I performed ablution for prayer and prayed the midday, afternoon, sunset, and night prayers. Then I prayed the witr with the same ablution. When I returned home and went to relieve myself, I discovered that there was impurity in my underwear. So I changed my clothes, performed ablution, and repeated the midday, afternoon, sunset, and night prayers, and I prayed the witr.
The Shaykh:
That is, he prayed every prayer in its time with a single ablution: the midday in its time, the afternoon in its time, the sunset in its time, and the night in its time, then he prayed the witr with a single ablution. His ablution was not broken. There is no harm in that; it is permissible to pray several prayers with a single ablution. There is no harm in that; one may pray as long as his ablution is not broken. As for the fact that he found impurity in his garment, this does not invalidate the prayers. If impurity is in the garment or on the body and one did not know about it, it does not invalidate the prayer; the prayer is valid. However, he must wash it for the future.
The questioner:
Does that affect my fast?
The Shaykh:
No, it does not affect the fast. If you did not consume anything that breaks the fast, it does not affect the fast. Yes.
