Remembering a state of ritual impurity after the opening takbir in the Maghrib prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Muhammad from Riyadh, says: A man prayed the Maghrib prayer, and after his takbir of entering prayer, he remembered that he was not in a state of ritual purity. He remained and prayed with the imam. After the prayer, he went out, performed wudu, and repeated the Maghrib prayer. His reason for doing so was to avoid breaking the rows. What is required of him?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to continue in prayer while he is not in a state of wudu. This is not permissible. Some scholars have been strict regarding this matter. Therefore, it is not permissible for him to continue in prayer. He must either leave or sit down, if there is a path for him to exit. If he cannot exit, he sits down and does not continue in prayer. Yes.
