Is it permissible for one who has a continuous state of ritual impurity to perform voluntary prayers, specifically before the imam ascends the pulpit and before the Friday prayer, with a single ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... For example, the issue of applying analogical reasoning to the woman with irregular bleeding and those with excuses: should one pray on Friday before the imam ascends the pulpit? He would pray whatever he wished. So what does he do? Does he pray with a single ablution?
The Shaykh: What is it?
The questioner : ... I mean, those with excuses, does he pray with a single ablution or ...?
The Shaykh : ... If he is present in the mosque?
The questioner : ... Yes, he prays whatever he wishes.
The Shaykh : ... He prays with a single ablution.
The questioner : ... I mean, the purely voluntary prayers?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... He prays with a single ablution. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
...
The Shaykh : ... The connection between us and our first guide has been severed.
The questioner: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : ... The connection is severed now; I mean, unfortunately, we do not exclude anyone, neither students with their shaykhs nor disciples with their scholars, except those whom Allah protects, and they are few. All of these people are connected to their shaykhs and scholars, but the connection between them and the Messenger, who is the source of all shaykhs and scholars, is severed. What is the reason? ... The reason is that you and others who were tested ...
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... No, may Allah forgive you!
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... No, everything has its time. This is not the time. You and those like you were tested by honoring Al-Albani, for example. You notice that you honor only this person. But if you imagined that the Messenger (peace be upon him) entered upon you, what would you do? Would you stand up for him?! That is the problem, and that is what I am pointing to: that the connection is severed. Because if you say, "I will stand up for him," you have contradicted him. And if you say, "I will not stand up for him," then who am I in relation to him?! This is our problem.

The Shaykh : ... You set up your camp in a place, and the sun set behind the mountain from that place. A minute before, you saw it because it was in a valley. And after a while, if you walked a minute, you would see the sun rising. What do you do when you descend?

The Shaykh : How is the hadith?
The questioner : ... That a man prostrated.
The Shaykh : ... This is not correct. There is a hadith whose beginning has slipped my mind. It seems its meaning is—seems, I do not remember now—that you should prostrate on the earth. I remember the reasoning; the reasoning is very wonderful;.
The questioner : ... ... Another piece of evidence.
The Shaykh : ..., the beginning of the hadith has slipped my mind, , they interpreted this explanatory phrase in His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): , it is kind to you, it protects you as a mother protects her son; !
