The questioner : A man prayed all the times while there was impurity on his garment and he did not know until the next day; does he have to repeat the prayers?
The Shaykh : If he prayed while there was impurity on his garment and he did not know until after he had prayed several prayers, then it is not obligatory for him to repeat them, because Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:286] And because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): and he did not restart it, which indicates that the prayer is valid if he did not know about the impurity.
If he knew about it before he prayed but forgot to wash it, then his prayer is likewise valid, because he did not intentionally pray in a garment that was impure.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
