Ruling on the prayer of one who doubts the purity of the ground and the clothes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from one of the female listeners, who says at the end: The sender (H.A.Kh) has a sister with a case in which she says: When we go to visit one of our relatives and the time for prayer arrives, we pray with them in special clothes for prayer. Sometimes we pray while we dislike these clothes because we doubt their purity. Allah knows best about the purity of the ground we walk on, and we also pray on it.
Is our prayer valid or not? And if we have to repeat it when we return home, we sometimes pray more than one time while we are there. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family, and his Companions, and whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows:
The original state of clothes, the ground, and everything else is purity, except for what you know to be impure. So, if you do not know that the clothes you prayed in are impure, the prayer is valid, and the doubt is not considered and is not heeded. Likewise, the original state of the ground is purity, so if you do not know it to be impure, the original state is purity, and you do not have to repeat the prayer, praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, there is no need to doubt this...?
The Shaykh: This is from Shaytan, this is from Shaytan. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
