The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh. At the end of this chapter, could you clarify for the listeners the conditions of prayer in general?
The Shaykh:
The conditions of prayer are known. There are nine conditions: Islam, intellect, discernment, ritual purity, the removal of impurity from the garment, the body, and the place of prayer, facing the qiblah, and the intention, the intention of prayer. One must fulfill all nine conditions. Islam, because a disbeliever has no prayer; intellect, because a person of unsound mind has no prayer; discernment, because a child who has not reached the age of discernment has no prayer; and ritual purity is necessary, as He said, "No prayer is accepted without purification." It is also necessary to remove impurity from the garment, the body, and the place of prayer.
It is also necessary to face the qiblah during prayer, except while traveling in voluntary prayer if one prays on a mount, as mentioned earlier. And it is necessary to have the intention, the intention of prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
It is necessary to cover the 'awrah, which for a man is the area between the navel and the knee, along with covering the shoulders or at least one of them. For a woman, her entire body is 'awrah except her face and her hands in prayer.
