The Meaning of "No Prayer..." in Some Hadiths of Prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Does this mean perfection or validity?
Answer:
What is known from the scholars is that it refers to perfection. So if he prayed and completed it, the prayer is valid, but he is in danger; because the original ruling regarding prayer is negation, and the legal term is not negated unless a person leaves out some of the obligatory acts. It is not a negation of perfection. No, this indicates the obligation to relieve oneself of the two impurities, and likewise that he eats enough food to satisfy his need. The most apparent view is that it is not permissible for him.
