If I remember that I am in a state of major ritual impurity, do I complete the prayer from where I left off?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The question is, regarding the same topic, for example, I am in prayer and I remember that I am not in a state of ablution, or that I am in a state of major ritual impurity. So, do I break my prayer? I mean, I keep the intention, go perform ablution, and then return to complete the same prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes, you do not break your prayer, nor do you speak or do anything else.
The questioner : I go and perform ablution.
The Shaykh : It is as if you are in prayer, going to perform ablution...
The questioner : Of course, it is as if you are in prayer.
The Shaykh : That is the case, so do not break the prayer.
The questioner : Now, turning away from the direction of prayer does not break the prayer.
The Shaykh : If you are able not to turn away but you do, you invalidate the prayer. But if it is necessary to fulfill the condition, which is purity, then there is no harm.
The questioner : I mean, if you turn away from the prayer to perform purity, there is no harm; complete the prayer.
The Shaykh: How.
The questioner : Complete the same prayer.
The Shaykh : We are saying...
The questioner : You build upon the same prayer.
The Shaykh : It is completed, yes, yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : Our Shaykh... the ablution.
The Shaykh: How.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ...this is part of the completion of the ablution.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, he was performing ablution and someone said to him, "Peace be upon you."
The Shaykh: How.
The questioner : Someone greeted him at the washing place.
The student : He gestures with his hand.
The Shaykh : With his right hand.
The questioner : He wants to say, "Our Shaykh, in the name of Allah."
The Shaykh : He is still in prayer, yes.
The questioner : He says "In the name of Allah" because it is not prayer.
The student : It is ablution.
Another student: And all the walking and movements.
Another student: ...
The Shaykh: How.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : After the end.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
