The Effect of Excessive Movement and Fidgeting on the Invalidity of the Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does excessive fidgeting and movement in the prayer invalidate it?
The Shaykh:
If movements continue without need and reach four, the prayer is invalidated. There are four conditions: that they continue, that they are without need, and that they are four. There are other conditions for the movements, but I have forgotten them. Yes, review it. Yes.
The presenter:
That is all.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
