The questioner:
Mishkat al-Masabih 301, what is the meaning of this hadith?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is well known that the prayer is not valid without purification[Al-Ma'idah 5:6], which refers to purification with water or with tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) when water is unavailable. Thus, purification is a condition for the validity of the prayer, provided it is possible and one is able to perform it. Charity from stolen goods is not accepted because stealing is forbidden, and charity is not valid from forbidden wealth, whether from stealing or otherwise. All forbidden wealth is not permissible for charity, and it is not accepted by Allah the Exalted. Sahih Muslim 1015, and bribery and forbidden wealth are impure, and Allah does not accept the impure.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Baqarah 2:267]. That is, from the impurities. Yes.
God’s messenger as saying, “Prayer without purification is not accepted, neither is sadaqa from the profits of un faithful dealing.”
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تقبل صلاة بغير طهور، ولا صدقة من غلولThe Shaykh:
Yes, it is well known that the prayer is not valid without purification
O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْAllah is Good and He therefore, accepts only that which is good
إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيباThe presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ
