The questioner : ... ?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Some of them did not accept applying the analogy of doubt outside the prayer to doubt inside the prayer. They said that if one doubts while inside the prayer, the wudu' is not valid because he is in doubt about a condition. And if he doubts about the condition?
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that there is a difference between them, because his beginning of the prayer necessitates that he not exit it except with certainty, since it is, for example, an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one; he does not exit it except with certainty. This is unlike what is before the prayer. However, it was reported in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah:Sahih Muslim 362.
