The ruling on repeating the prayer for one who prayed without ablution while forgetting or being ignorant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : I slept after the Tahajjud prayer and did not wake up until after the Adhan. I drank water and then prayed without performing ablution. Do I have to repeat the prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Every person who prays without ablution must repeat the prayer, even if he was forgetting or ignorant. It is obligatory for him to repeat the prayer. Let me give an example for the brother who is forgetting. He prayed without ablution while he was forgetting. What? But how does a person who is forgetting pray? This question, give me an example where a person prayed while in a state of ritual impurity and he was forgetting?
The questioner : I mean, the sweetest portion.
The Shaykh : Hmm?
The questioner : I say, it went past you, what is in front of us went past you. What? It went past you and he was not forgetting. We reached a point where it is not a return.
The Shaykh : Example, example, what?
The questioner : Man. Yes. Listen. He is not forgetting.
The Shaykh : The man broke his ablution between the Zuhr and Asr prayers, understood? Then the Adhan for Asr was called, and he stood up and prayed while forgetting that he had broken his ablution. This is the example. As for what I said at the beginning regarding the ruling.
Do you know now? Is it required for this person who prayed Asr to repeat the prayer? Yes, it is required of him. Good. And likewise, if he prayed while in a state of ritual impurity and was ignorant, it is required of him to repeat the prayer. The example of the ignorant one, I am asking you this question twice. He prayed while ignorant that he was in a state of ritual impurity. Leave the people alone. No, no, the impurity is a state of ritual impurity. Thank you. Who? Yes, perfect, I accept. A man.
A smell came out of him, and he did not know that the smell breaks the ablution, so he stood up and prayed. Do we say he must repeat the prayer or not? He must perform ablution and repeat the prayer. And another example closer to reality: a man ate camel meat while he did not know it was camel meat, so he prayed. After the prayer, they discussed it and said that the one who ate camel meat in this case must perform ablution and repeat the prayer, even if he was ignorant. Good, a man prayed and there was impurity in his garment, and he did not know about it until after the prayer.
The questioner : All right.
The Shaykh : Circular.
The questioner : Yes, an ignorant person is prohibited, it is necessary, an ignorant woman.
The Shaykh : Perfect, listen, he is not aware of the repetition. Another man had impurity on his garment and said, "I will wash it, if Allah wills, when I perform ablution," but he forgot, so he prayed and did not wash it. He was asked, "My brother, what do you say?"
The questioner : But what happens.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Give me money.
The Shaykh : Do not harm the prayer, be deaf. Yes. The prayer, his prayer is valid. Someone might ask, what is the difference between a state of ritual impurity and impurity?
The questioner : The state of ritual impurity is a matter. The matter is that prayer and ablution are obligatory. As for the impurity
The Shaykh : Ablution from the state of ritual impurity is from the category of action.
The questioner : Paper.
The Shaykh : Good, and washing the impurity is from the category of?
The questioner : Leaving the prohibited, correct?
The Shaykh : Leaving the prohibited. Good, ask, and the rule among the scholars is that leaving the prohibited, if it occurs due to ignorance or forgetfulness, it has no effect. If it occurs due to ignorance or forgetfulness, it has no effect. And as for leaving what is commanded, one must perform it or what is a substitute for it, even if he was ignorant or forgetting. Yes. Yes, I say the rule among the scholars is that doing the prohibited, if it is due to forgetfulness or ignorance, it has no ruling. And as for leaving what is commanded, it invalidates the worship, even if it is due to ignorance or forgetfulness. Yes, after that.
The presenter : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Drink on the eye, my brother. Yes, he did not ask about drinking during the Adhan, he asked about the prayer.
The questioner : Let us eat it, Shaykh. It was already, Doctor, Mr.
The Shaykh : I say, regarding the issue of drinking during the Adhan, blessings of Allah.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : I slept after the Tahajjud prayer and did not wake up until after the Adhan. I drank water and then prayed without performing ablution. Do I have to repeat the prayer?
