The prayer of one who cleanses himself with fewer than three stones and achieves purity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person cleanses himself with fewer than three stones and achieves purity, then prays, what is the ruling on his prayer?
Answer:
If he achieves purity, his prayer is valid, because what is required is the removal of impurity. They even said that if he uses a single stone with branches, and it achieves purity, or a single stone with branches where he wipes with each branch, that suffices. This is because the objective is the removal of impurity; if the impurity is removed, the requirement is met. Yes.
