What is the ruling on one who prayed with tayammum and then found water during the prayer? And does one who found impurity in his garment, and one who prayed without wudu', have to repeat the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man prayed with tayammum, and during the prayer water became available. What should he do?
The Shaykh : He should break off the prayer and use the water.
The questioner : All right, but if he has already completed the prayer with the taslim, and the water became available after he had completed it.
The Shaykh: That is all.[Yusuf 12:41] The prayer is valid, and he must renew his wudu' for another prayer.
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, what is the difference between a person who was praying and remembered during the prayer that he was not in a state of purity, so he goes out, performs wudu', and returns to the prayer, and a person who was praying and saw impurity on his body or on his garment during the prayer? Does this person go out or not?
The Shaykh : Go out, what?
The questioner : Does he go out of the prayer or not?
The Shaykh : Be brief: does the one who saw the impurity go out of the prayer or not?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If he is unable to remove it, he must go out of the prayer. But if he is able to, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did with his sandals, he removes the impurity and continues the prayer. As for continuing the prayer while carrying the impurity and being aware of it, that has no basis!
The questioner : All right, what about a person who prayed without wudu' and did not remember until after he had completed the prayer with the taslim?
The Shaykh : He must repeat the prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He must repeat the prayer.
The questioner : All right, what about a person who was praying and had impurity in his garment, but did not know about it until after he had exited the prayer? Does he repeat it?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : He repeats it.
The Shaykh : Yes, he repeats it, just like the previous case.
The questioner : Because some people make a distinction, Shaykh. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not repeat the prayer when he removed the sandals that had dirt or impurity on them; he did not repeat what he had prayed before that!
The Shaykh : That is well known, may Allah reward you. Similarly, when he entered the prayer in a state of major ritual impurity and remembered, he gestured to his companions to stay in their places, then he went into the room, performed ghusl, and came back with his head dripping water, and he prayed with them.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So this is like that. But if a man like 'Umar ibn al-Khattab found a trace of major ritual impurity on his garment, he repeated the prayer, but he did not order the people to repeat their prayer. So we distinguish between the one who remembers the matter during the prayer, who removes the invalidator, usually, and continues and builds upon the prayer, like the one whose wudu' was broken during the prayer. But it is not the same for the one who remembers after exiting the prayer that he was not in a state of purity. In this case, he must purify himself and repeat the prayer, as 'Umar did.
The questioner : And regarding impurity, if he learns about it after the prayer has ended, he repeats the prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct, that is correct.
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, regarding what you said now, and I heard this from my brother Abu 'Abdullah, that you said if a person is praying and remembers during the prayer that he is not in a state of wudu', or that he passed wind during the prayer, you heard them saying he goes out, performs wudu', and builds upon and completes his prayer, and does not start it over from the beginning. Is this correct?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : All right, what is the evidence for this, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I have already presented it to you previously!
The questioner : The hadith in Abu Dawud.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : He repeated the takbir, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Where did you get that from?
The questioner : It seems to me that I read it in Abu Dawud.
The Shaykh : I don't think so!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I don't think so!
The questioner : And that is why I said "it seems to me"!
The Shaykh : No, you are mistaken. It is not in Sunan Abu Dawud that he repeated the takbir. But perhaps the matter was confused for you, and one hadith got mixed up with another. The hadith of Abu Dawud that I mentioned to you just now is from the hadith of Abu Bakrah al-Thaqafi. But there is another hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is different from that one.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : All right, Shaykh, regarding the one who goes out, like in this case, so that he can return and know how to deal with the qiblah: does he turn his back to it, or does he face it?
The Shaykh : As for turning his back to it intentionally and deliberately, no. But as for turning his back to it against his will, yes.
The questioner : Can you clarify more, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I mean, as long as he is able not to turn his back to it, if he is able not to turn his back to it, he should not turn his back to it, because turning one's back is the opposite of facing. But if his situation requires it, and he has to pour water on his body from behind, then that is something unavoidable.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh : He should break off the prayer and use the water.
The questioner : All right, but if he has already completed the prayer with the taslim, and the water became available after he had completed it.
The Shaykh: That is all.
The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire."

When he said the takbir for them while he was in a state of major ritual impurity
لما كبر بهم وهو جنبThe Shaykh: Yes.

He stood up to pray the Fajr prayer and remembered that he was in a state of major ritual impurity, so he went and performed ghusl, then he came and said the takbir and prayed
قام ليصلي صلاة الفجر فتذكر بأنه على جنابة فذهب واغتسل فجاء وكبر وصلىThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : All right, Shaykh, regarding the one who goes out, like in this case, so that he can return and know how to deal with the qiblah: does he turn his back to it, or does he face it?
