Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If a person remembers while in prayer that there is impurity on his garment, what should he do? Does he break off the prayer?
The Shaykh : If a person remembers during his prayer that there is impurity on his garment, or learns of it when he was previously unaware, let him remove that garment if he has something to cover himself with underneath it.
The questioner : What about the trousers, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The trousers are easy, because the trousers have a shirt over them, is that not so? He removes the trousers and continues his prayer, or if he has, for example, a shirt over a pair of trousers and an undershirt, he removes the shirt.
