If a person remembers that there is impurity on his garment, should he remove it or complete his prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the garment is impure and the woman prayed without knowing it was impure, is it permissible for her, if she remembers it was impure, to remove it before completing the prayer, or should she complete it?
The Shaykh : If you can remove it and remain covered, that is fine. But if removing it would expose her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), it means she has to break the prayer and put on another garment or wash it.
The questioner : They say in the book *Fiqh al-Islam* (Islamic Jurisprudence) that some scholars say it is obligatory.
The Shaykh : What
The questioner : Purifying the place, and some people say it is a recommended practice (sunnah), meaning they differ on it.
The Shaykh : Yes, they differ. The correct view is that it is a condition, yes, but this condition is dropped due to an excuse, which is ignorance.
