The questioner : They say, Shaykh, if the prayer is uncertain, it is invalid. So here, he prayed in every garment with an uncertain intention?
The Shaykh : They say, but by the totality of the matter, by the totality of the prayers, we are certain that he prayed a prayer in a state of purity.
The questioner : And what is the difference between this and if one started a ritual purification with a pure one? We said he does not perform two wudus?
The Shaykh : They said, because it is possible to combine them there in the issue of ritual purity and the pure state, it is possible to combine, so he performs wudu from this part and from that part. But here, it is not possible, and what does it matter? We cannot say, "Wear two new garments," it is the same thing, they are all impure.
