The ruling on the prayer of one who has tied a ritually impure donkey that does not follow his steps

Question : He says that if it does not follow his steps, meaning if the impure or contaminated thing is not attached to the one praying in such a way that it follows his steps,

Answer : in such a way that it follows his steps. How do you visualize this issue? We say this is a man who tied a rope around his belly, and this rope is tied to the neck of a donkey. The donkey is now attached to the rope, right? So it is tied to him. If this man walks and the donkey resists them, yes, it does not follow his steps. This is the usual case, though a strong person might come along, but generally it does not follow. Let us say that for this person praying, it does not follow his steps.
Do you understand? The prayer here is valid, because the man is not carrying the impurity, and the impurity does not follow him. The impurity does not follow.
Is that clear? The donkey is impure, and this has been discussed before, but we can assume it is a donkey impure from its urine and that it has defecated; there is no doubt it is impure. The point is, we say this man’s prayer is valid because he is not directly touching the impurity, nor carrying it, nor following it—meaning the impurity does not follow him. Therefore, his prayer is valid.
