Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the one who calls to prayer is in a state of major ritual impurity, does he enter the mosque to call to prayer while standing, and then leave?
Answer:
It is not appropriate to stand; this resembles sitting, and standing for a long time. Therefore, the safest course is not to enter unless one has performed the ablution for prayer. However, if he does so, it is valid; because he is not sitting, he does not sit. It may resemble that of a passerby in some respects, but the length of his standing resembles sitting. Therefore, the safest course for him is to prepare before the call to prayer, by performing the full ritual bath. This is the safest course.
Q: Is the ablution for prayer not a condition for the call to prayer?
A: It is not a condition. The correct view is that it is not a condition; because the hadith is weak. It is not a condition.
