Conditions for the invalidation of prayer by movement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. One of the brothers, Abu Ibrahim, is asking. He says: Some of the worshippers, Honorable Shaykh, move a lot with the shilwah and the shemagh during the prayer. What is the ruling on this action in prayer? And does the prayer become invalid with more than one movement?
Answer:
Movement in prayer without need is disliked. If it becomes frequent and continuous, and is without need and not of the nature of the prayer, then it invalidates the prayer under these conditions: that it is not of the nature of the prayer, not of the nature of the movements of the prayer; this is the first. The second is that it becomes frequent; if it is little, it does not harm. The third is that it is continuous; if it is scattered, it does not harm. The fourth is that it is for no need, and is only a matter of play or distraction; this invalidates the prayer. Yes.
