The ruling on one who prays while in a state of ritual impurity without knowing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling if a person knows about the impurity but does not remember it until after the prayer is finished?
Answer:
If a person has impurity on his body or his clothing and he forgets about it, not remembering it until after the prayer, then his prayer is valid; due to the generality of the saying of the Exalted: [al-Baqarah:286], and it is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah the Exalted said: .
And since it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that in some of his prayers he prayed in his sandals, and Jibril came to him and informed him that there was impurity on them, so he took them off, and he did not repeat the first part of his prayer, and he said to his Companions (peace be upon him):, so this indicates that if the one praying does not know about impurity in his clothing or his sandals or in his place of prayer until after the prayer, or does not remember it until after the prayer, then his prayer is valid. This is unlike the state of ritual impurity (hadath), for if he prays while in a state of ritual impurity while forgetting, then his prayer is not valid, and he must repeat it, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 225, agreed upon for its authenticity, and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1Sahih (Darussalam), narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, and success is from Allah.

Answer:

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاHe has done so
قد فعلتAnd since it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that in some of his prayers he prayed in his sandals, and Jibril came to him and informed him that there was impurity on them, so he took them off, and he did not repeat the first part of his prayer, and he said to his Companions (peace be upon him):
When one of you comes to the prayer, let him turn his sandals over, and if he finds any impurity on them, let him remove it, and then let him pray in them.
إذا أتى أحدكم الصلاة فليقلب نعليه، فإن وجد بهما أذى فليزله ثم ليصل فيهماThe prayer of none amongst you would be accepted in a state of impurity until he performs ablution.
لا تقبل صلاة أحدكم إذا أحدث حتى يتوضأSalat will not be accepted without purification, nor Charity from Ghulul.
لا تقبل صلاة بغير طهور ولا صدقة من غلول
