Praying on a donkey and on impure mats
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a donkey indicate that it is permissible to pray on impure or soiled mats?
Answer:
My brother, the donkey is not impure in a way that transfers to the one praying. It is impure in its nature, not that there is impurity on it. If you ride it, your clothes and garments get soiled, but it is not like that. You understood it wrong. Yes.
