Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I performed wudu' with the intention of the funeral prayer, then the 'Asr adhan was called. Is the wudu' for the funeral prayer sufficient for the 'Asr prayer, or must I perform wudu' again for the 'Asr prayer?
The Shaykh : If you performed wudu' for the funeral prayer, there is no harm in praying the obligatory prayer with it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Or if you performed wudu' for a voluntary prayer, there is no harm in praying the obligatory prayer with it. Or if you performed wudu' to remove ritual impurity, there is no harm in praying the obligatory prayer with it. Or if you performed wudu' to recite the Qur'an, there is no harm in praying the obligatory prayer with it. Or if you performed wudu' for the remembrance of Allah, there is no harm in praying the obligatory prayer with it. This is because the state of ritual impurity is lifted when you perform wudu' for these things, and once the state of ritual impurity is lifted, it is permissible for you to perform the prayer. This remains valid until the time of the prayer enters, even if the time is long, as long as you remain in a state of ritual purity. Even if, for example, you performed wudu' for the Fajr prayer and remained in a state of ritual purity until the 'Isha' prayer, there is no blame on you. Yes.
The questioner : Okay. This listener to the program used the code S J M for his name. He is from the Arab Republic of Egypt. He says, "O honorable Shaykh."
