Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: One of the conditions of prayer is covering the ‘awrah. I have a difficulty with the hadith of the child: why was his prayer not invalidated when his ‘awrah was exposed?
Answer:
What did he intend by this? He did not intend for it to be exposed. He did not intend for it to be exposed. That is, when they became aware of it, they covered his ‘awrah. If a defect occurs and a person did not intend for his ‘awrah to be exposed, or he was unaware of the ruling, his prayer is valid. Yes.
