The ruling on a person in a state of major ritual impurity reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of Aisha: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would remember Allah in all his states. What do you say to those who cite this as evidence that a person in a state of major ritual impurity may recite the Qur'an?
Answer:
It is not evidence. This is an independent act of remembrance, and the disagreement is well known, but it is not evidence. The hadith of Ali is explicit.
Q: You mentioned that he would remember Allah in all his states. Are there exceptions to this, for example, if he was...?
The Shaykh: In the state of the bathroom, which is known, he would remove his ring when he entered the place of relief. It is even more appropriate to refrain from that in the place of relieving oneself, except in the heart; remembering Allah in the heart is permissible.
