Prayer and having samples of urine and feces in one’s pocket
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: A man was carrying with him samples of urine and feces in bottles for analysis, and he entered the mosque and prayed while they were in his pocket. What is the ruling on his prayer? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
If he was forgetful or ignorant, he owes nothing. As for if he did it intentionally, his prayer is valid because he was carrying ritual impurity. However, if he prayed while forgetful or ignorant of the legal ruling, it is like the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who prayed in his sandals, and there was filth in them. When Jibril informed him, he took them off and did not go back to the beginning of the prayer.
