A person found water during prayer: what is required of him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Let us return to the first question before the water was found. My Shaykh, meaning, if one finds water during prayer, does he perform wudu for the part of the prayer that has passed and complete it?
Al-'Awaisheh : This question is prepared.
The Shaykh : And this is the answer that I presented.
The questioner : Regarding the prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes, no, no, we gave an answer for this, but what about the previous prayers? What is your question? Let them understand you.
The questioner : He found water during the prayer.
The Shaykh : The prayer is invalid.
The questioner : So the part of the prayer that has passed is the prayer itself, the one in which the water was found.
The Shaykh : It is the same prayer, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : He prays four rak'ahs, he finished the first two and the water was found.
The Shaykh : The prayer is broken, the prayer is invalid.
The questioner : The prayer is invalid; he does not build upon it. He performs wudu and builds upon the prayer? No, he starts the prayer from the beginning.
The Shaykh : Notice here that he is speaking about the rare case, because in travel there are not four rak'ahs. So instead of saying one rak'ah, he said two rak'ahs. So take this, a man is excused by a very rare excuse, and he is a resident. Otherwise, why would one complete the prayer while a resident? So he struck an example of the rare case so that we understand it, meaning that tayammum is permissible other than in travel.
The questioner : The reason for my question is that the hadith you mentioned, my Shaykh, on that day, is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remembered something while he was in prayer, and then he said and he built upon what had passed.
The Shaykh : This is different from that.
The questioner : My Shaykh, of course, sometimes the issue might be logically rejected, but I mean, regarding the principle.
The Shaykh : Please.
The questioner : The evidence. One might say that if he built upon a state where he had no wudu at all, whereas he was, for example, in a state of tayammum, and he prayed two rak'ahs.
The Shaykh : My brother, here you have a text. You have a text.
The questioner : That is all.
The Shaykh : That is all.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Put down your weapon.
Al-'Awaisheh : This question is prepared.
The Shaykh : And this is the answer that I presented.
