Forgetting to Wash Pre-seminal Fluid Before Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I performed the ablution and forgot to wash the pre-seminal fluid, and I prayed in congregation. Is my prayer and theirs valid? And what is required of me?
The Shaykh:
Pre-seminal fluid.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
You must repeat your prayer, and their prayer is valid, because pre-seminal fluid is ritually impure. Unless he meant semen; semen is pure, but pre-seminal fluid is ritually impure, so he must wash it and repeat his prayer. Yes.
