Question:
If you see a supervisor that no one is present and that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will reward, and there is no disagreement on that, but if a person’s nature or his love for the unseen became such that he thought this Creator was pure, and it became in him, does this clinic become an hour?
Answer:
Like all other impurities, like all other impurities, if a person has an impurity on his garment and prays in it while forgetting or being ignorant that it is impure, then the prayer is not repeated according to the correct opinion of the scholars; the prayer is not repeated according to the correct opinion of the scholars. However, that must be washed for the future, as for what has passed, Allah forgives it. This is the correct opinion of the scholars: if he knows there is an impurity on his garment, whether mud or otherwise, even excrement or urine, and he knows of this impurity, but he forgets to wash it and prays, and the prayer ends, his prayer is valid according to the correct opinion of the scholars. The second opinion is that he must repeat the prayer because he entered into it with an impurity he knew about but forgot, and forgetting does not drop the ruling. However, the correct view is that he is excused by forgetting, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. Avoiding impurity is a matter of leaving something off, so if he forgets it, he is excused in this. This is unlike if he is commanded to do something and then forgets it; he is not excused for leaving off what is commanded, neither by forgetting nor by ignorance. For example, if he forgets that he is praying the midday prayer, the prayer is not dropped from him because he is commanded to do it; this is commanded, its establishment is intended, so he is not excused by ignorance. This is unlike what is forbidden; if he forgets it, he is excused for that, because the intention is to leave that thing and stay away from it, so if he forgets, he is excused. Yes.
