Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person prays without khushu' (humility), but he performs the pillars, the obligatory acts, and the recommended practices, is the prayer accepted?
Answer:
It is valid, but deficient. He only gets from it what he understood or in which he had khushu'. However, it is valid if he did not rush through it. If he did not settle in it, rather he rushed through it, it is invalid. But if he settled in it, yet he has waswas (whispers), he has illusions, he has some thinking, his prayer is valid and deficient.
