The ruling on one who remembers during prayer that there is impurity on his garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: If a person remembers while in prayer that there is impurity on his garment, what should he do: does he break the prayer?
If a person remembers during his prayer that there is impurity on his garment, or if he learns of it and was previously unaware, let him remove that garment if he has something to cover himself with underneath.
The questioner: But what about the trousers, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: The trousers are easy; because the trousers have a shirt over them, is that not so? He removes the trousers and continues his prayer, or if he has, for example, a shirt over a pair of trousers and an undershirt, he removes the shirt.
As for a man who has only one shirt on, and he remembers that this shirt is impure, or he sees the impurity in it and was unaware of it before, he must exit the prayer,And the evidence for this: for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray in his sandals, so he removed his sandals, and the Companions removed their sandals, and when the prayer ended, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: (Why did you remove your sandals?They said: We saw you take off your sandals, so we took off our sandals,He said: Jibril came to me and informed me that there was filth in them, so I removed them) and he continued his prayer.
