Is it obligatory to inform someone who ate camel meat and then prayed without performing wudu?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: A person ate camel meat at my house and went to pray the 'Isha' prayer.
The Shaykh : Shall I correct your grammatical error, Abdul Aziz? Hmm? Or yes, fine, let me repeat the question, everyone.
The questioner : A person ate the meat of his son.
The Shaykh : It has an object.
The questioner : A person ate camel meat without knowing that it was in his house, then went to pray the 'Isha' prayer with his previous wudu, and up to now he does not know whether he should inform him to repeat his prayer or not?
The Shaykh : The question is known. He says he ate camel meat at my house. He went out to prayer and did not perform wudu. Is it obligatory for me to inform him or not? The answer is that it is obligatory for you to inform him, because this falls under the category of cooperating in righteousness and piety. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions when they reminded him of what he had forgotten in his prayer: "If I forget, remind me." This indicates that if a person sees someone neglecting an obligatory duty or falling into something forbidden, he must alert him. He should not say, "This man is excused, and I will leave him to his excuse." Rather, we say he is excused, but you, with your knowledge, are not excused. The believer is to the believer like a building, each part strengthening the other. Branching from this rule is the obligation to inform the heedless person of what he has neglected of an obligatory duty or committed of a forbidden act. Branching from this is: if you see a fasting person in Ramadan drinking while forgetting, do you remind him or not? Yes, you remind him. Some of the common people say, "Do not remind him; this is a provision Allah has given him." Yes, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever forgets while fasting and eats or drinks, Allah has fed him and given him drink." Let him eat of the food of Allah the Exalted, who has given him drink. So we say he is excused, but you are not excused. Yes. The questioner says. Write. Well, fine, a minute. He also asks in the question: Is it obligatory for me to inform him? I said it is obligatory for you to inform him, and he must repeat the prayer. It is obligatory for him to repeat the prayer. Yes. The questioner says: If the author forgot, or the author forgot. Well, let us distinguish on this detail a little. This man must repeat the prayer because he prayed? Without wudu. What do you say about a man whose garment was affected by impurity and he did not know about it until after he finished his prayer? Does he repeat it or not? He does not repeat it. Well, we want from you the evidence for this or the difference between the two issues. Yes, I think we will give your answer, if you stand up there. Well, yes. Yes. Well, did you understand the speech? He says: If the impurity is on the body, he must repeat the prayer, and if it is on the garment, he is not required to repeat it. So he distinguished. Well, meaning where? First, first, give us the ruling and then the reasoning. He prevented the prayer and did not rely on it. And it was not after or at the end of something. Where. Even in the poem on Saturday. Well. We say this man who prayed and had impurity in his garment or on his body, and he did not know about it until after his prayer, his prayer is valid. Because if the prayer were invalid, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when Jibril informed him that there was impurity in his sandals, would have started the prayer over from the beginning. And the scholars have a rule that they say: The one who commits a prohibited act due to an excuse of ignorance or forgetfulness owes nothing. But the one who leaves an obligatory act owes something; he must repeat the obligatory act in the prescribed manner. And they said, and we have evidence for this in the man who prayed without tranquility and swore that he did not know how to do anything else. The Messenger (may Allah pray upon him and grant him peace) ordered him to repeat the prayer or not? Why? Because he left an obligatory act, which is tranquility. And the man who forgot while fasting.
