The Ruling on Praying in a Garment That Has Impurity One Did Not Know About

Question:
The questioner says: Muhammad Sadiq Sudani, a resident of the Kingdom, asks: What is the meaning of one who prayed while there was impurity on his garment and he did not know about it? What is the ruling in that case?

Answer:
If one prays while there is impurity on his garment and he does not know about it until after the prayer, then his prayer is valid. Likewise, if he knew about it before the prayer but forgot it and prayed, his prayer is also valid according to the correct opinion of the scholars. As for if he becomes aware of the impurity on his garment during the prayer, he should remove it from his shoe or remove it during the prayer, and complete his prayer as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he removed his sandals during the prayer because Jibril informed him that there was harm in them. And if he is unable to get rid of the impurity he became aware of during the prayer, he must break off the prayer, wash the impurity or remove what is impure, replace it with something else, and then restart the prayer from the beginning. Yes.
