Explanation of the Book of Prayer-10

The Shaykh :"And from Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The prayer of a Muslim man is cut off if there is not between him and his hands the length of the back of a man: a woman, a donkey, or a black dog

يقطع صلاة الرجل المسلم إذا لم يكن بينه وبين يديه مثل مؤخرة الرجل : المرأة ، والحمار ، والكلف الأسود

The hadith includes:

The black dog is a devil.

الكلب الأسود شيطان

And from him, from Abu Hurayrah, to the same effect, except for the mention of the dog" His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): means: it invalidates, because cutting off means the absence of connection, and it is known that if you cut a rope, one part separates from the other, so the end of the prayer cannot be built upon its beginning if one of these things occurs. And his saying: is based on the general case, so manhood is not a condition, because the woman and the man are equal in this ruling. And his saying: is not a restriction either.
