Passing over a carpet containing urine and its effect on ablution and prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
So I said, is it a condition? Is it possible for me to prostrate to any dead person while I wish for you to appear?
The Shaykh:
If the urine is wet and a person walks over it, it renders his foot or the part of his body that touched it ritually impure, but it does not invalidate his ablution. The invalidation of ablution is something that never comes to mind in this case; it does not invalidate the ablution. If a person who is in a state of ablution has ritual impurity touch his garment or his body, his ablution is not invalidated; he only needs to remove the impurity. However, if the carpet is dry and the urine is dry, and the person walks over it with a dry foot, this has no effect because the impurity does not transfer. Transfer only occurs with moisture, either the moisture of the urine or the moisture of the foot. This is what causes the impurity to transfer from the source to the body.
The questioner:
The presence of the smell of sleep in the lap and pleasure, so he estimated it to be on one of his faces.
The Shaykh:
He can answer him.
The questioner:
And I go today to the mother of the children, so Abu 'Ubayd loves prayer and treachery.
The Shaykh:
No, once the smell of urine is present, this is evidence of the presence of urine, so it must be washed. The presence of the smell of impurity indicates the presence of the substance itself, so it must be washed. It is not permissible to pray with it or with the smell of urine.
