The Remembrance of Allah and Supplication for the One in a State of Major Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for the one who is in a state of major ritual impurity to recite the greatest name of Allah, or to pray while in a state of major ritual impurity?
The Shaykh:
Yes, he may remember Allah, except for the Qur'an. He may say the name of Allah, seek forgiveness, glorify Allah, and say Allahu Akbar, and he may supplicate to Allah, except for reciting the Qur'an. Reciting the Qur'an is what is forbidden. As for the other forms of dhikr, such as tasbih, takbir, and saying the name of Allah when entering the place of relief, when performing wudu, and when in need, there is no harm in that. Yes.
Another questioner:
And whoever reads after that, let him continue with supplication.
The Shaykh:
If he does not intend recitation but intends supplication,[Al-Baqarah 2:286] intending by that supplication, there is no barrier to it. Yes.
The questioner:
Your matters.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Baqarah 2:201], if he is restricted to supplication, he has not sinned. Yes.

If he does not intend recitation but intends supplication,
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاThe questioner:
Your matters.
The Shaykh:
Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً
