Is it permissible for one with 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 : ... The issue of applying analogical reasoning to the woman with irregular bleeding and those with excuses: that one should pray on Friday before the imam ascends the pulpit. He would pray whatever he wished. What is the ruling? Does he pray with a single ablution?
The Shaykh : If he is present in the mosque?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He prays with his ablution.
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, meaning, unfortunately, we do not exclude anyone—neither those with their shaykhs nor students 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 (peace and blessings be upon him), who is the source of all shaykhs and scholars, is severed. What is the reason? The reason is that you, and others who, for example, are afflicted with honoring Al-Albani, you only observe the honoring of this person. But if you imagined that the Messenger (peace be upon him) entered upon you, what would you do? You would stand for him. This is the problem, and this is what I am pointing out: the connection is severed because if you say, "I will stand for him," you have contradicted him, and if you say, "I will not stand for him," 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 horizon from this place a little while ago, a minute ago, 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 happens when you descended... This is your current reality... this shaykh...
The Shaykh : How is the hadith?
The questioner : That a man prostrated.
The Shaykh : This is incorrect, ... it seems, the meaning, it seems I do not remember now that prostration to the earth, I remember the explanation, a very beautiful explanation, so explain this explanatory phrase in His saying, the Exalted: , a kind one who embraces you as a mother embraces her son, for she is kind to you!
