The ruling on the prayer of one who finds impurity in his garment during the prayer or after completing it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. I move on to another question sent by Muhammad Sa'id, who says: During the 'Asr prayer, I found impurity in my garment, the size of a lentil or slightly larger, so I completed the prayer. What is the ruling on my prayer?
The Shaykh:
If you are certain that there is impurity on your garment, it is obligatory for you to leave the prayer. It is obligatory for you, if possible, to remove the garment or the item of clothing containing the impurity. If you can remove it and continue your prayer while keeping your 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) covered, then you do so, and your prayer is valid. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray in his sandals, then he removed them during the prayer, so the Companions removed their sandals. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he informed them of the reason when he asked them why they had removed them. They said, "We saw you remove them, so we removed them." He said (peace and blessings be upon him), "Jibril informed me that there is harm in them, so I removed them." Therefore, if the one praying is able to remove the item of clothing containing impurity during his prayer, he removes it and continues his prayer as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. If he is unable to remove it, he leaves the prayer, washes the impurity, or changes the garment for another one, and prays in a pure garment. This is because among the conditions for the validity of the prayer are the purity of the body, the purity of the place, and purity from ritual impurity (hadath). Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. What if he discovered this impurity after completing the prayer?
The Shaykh:
As for if he discovered it after completing the prayer, and he did not know about it during the prayer, and he did not remember it during the prayer, then his prayer is valid. Yes.
