Does sudden showing off invalidate the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is praying and showing off occurs to him during a rak'ah, is it said that that rak'ah is defective and he must repeat it?
Answer:
The scholars differ on this: does the showing off extend to the beginning of the prayer, or is he rewarded for the beginning and the reward for the end is nullified?
The well-known view among the scholars is that it extends to both the beginning and the end, so showing off invalidates the entire act if the act is continuous, unlike a discontinuous act, such as recitation and the like.
