The Ruling on Praying Fajr at Muzdalifah When Unable to Perform Ghusl
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says, may Allah preserve you, he says: I performed Hajj last year, and on the night of staying at Muzdalifah, I had a wet dream near the end of the night. Due to the tightness of time and the severe congestion at the restrooms, I did not perform ghusl; rather, I performed wudu for prayer and washed the impurity that had affected my ihram garments to the best of my ability, and I prayed Fajr. When I reached Mina, I stoned the Jamarat al-Aqabah, slaughtered my sacrifice, and shaved my head, then I removed my ihram garments and performed ghusl. Do I have anything to do? Do I have to repeat the prayer or not?
The Shaykh:
What happened was that you were unable.
The questioner:
There was severe congestion at the restrooms.
The Shaykh:
If that is what happened, you are excused, if Allah wills, and it is correct, and if you did so as a precaution, if Allah wills.
The questioner:
Then you turned to the right.
The Shaykh:
There is no contemplation.
The questioner:
There is no issue of repeating.
The Shaykh:
Did you perform tayammum?
The questioner:
It was with us.
The Shaykh:
No, O Shaykh.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Is it reasonable to perform tayammum when unable?
The questioner:
Yes.
