THE AUTHENTIC CREED AND THE INVALIDATORS OF ISLAM F El Mohdar
The document discusses the six fundamental articles of Islamic creed that every Muslim must believe in: belief in Allah; belief in the angels; belief in Allah's books; belief in the messengers; belief in the Last Day; and belief in divine destiny (al-Qadar). It explains that having a correct creed is essential in Islam and outlines verses from the Quran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad that establish these six core beliefs. The document also warns against "invalidators of Islam" who oppose or deviate from the pure Islamic creed.
Islam is based on two primary sources: the Quran, which Muslims believe is the word of God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and the Sunnah, which are the teachings and example of the Prophet. The Quran was transmitted verbatim to Muhammad and is considered the exact words of God in Arabic. The Sunnah demonstrates how Muslims should implement the Quran's teachings in their daily lives. Together, the Quran and Sunnah provide complete guidance for Muslims until Judgment Day. Any discussion of Islam must be grounded in these two authoritative sources.
IMPORTANT FATWAS Regarding Teh Rites of HAJJ AND UMRAHF El Mohdar
This document discusses the three types of Hajj pilgrimage in Islam: Tamattu', Ifrad, and Qiran.
1) Tamattu' involves assuming Ihram for Umrah only, then for Hajj later. This is considered the best type.
2) Ifrad involves assuming Ihram for Hajj alone.
3) Qiran involves combining Umrah and Hajj, assuming Ihram for both at once. This is what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did on his farewell pilgrimage.
The document provides details on the rituals and intentions required for each type of pilgrimage.

This document contains an introduction to the levels of Deen in Islam according to a hadith narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab. In the hadith, a mysterious man asks the Prophet Muhammad to define Islam and Eeman. The Prophet responds that Islam is to testify there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger, and to perform the pillars of Islam. Eeman is defined as believing in Allah, his angels, books, messengers, the Final Day, and Qadar. The man approves of the Prophet's answers.

This document discusses the conflict between Islam and secularism. It argues that secularism is a contemporary manifestation of jahiliyyah (ignorance) and is fundamentally at odds with Islamic monotheism. Secularism restricts Islam to the mosque and seeks to govern society without Islamic law, which constitutes polytheism. The document outlines how secularism entered Muslim lands through the influence of hypocritical secularists, using Turkey as an example. It concludes that secularism has no place in Muslim societies due to Islam's all-encompassing nature and the historical compatibility of Islam with science.
نور الاقتباس في مشكاة وصية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لابن عباس
(ابن رجب الحنبلي)
Nurul Iqtibas fi Mishkat Wasiyyah Al-Nabi li Ibn 'Abbas
Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) Advice to Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه)
-------
The spiritual and wordly life of a Muslim is focused on Allah. Success in both entails knowing Allah, loving Him, trusting Him and worshipping Him alone. It requires the Muslim to learn his religion, discipline his soul and refine his conduct. The Muslim must have firm faith that everything that happens to him in this life is good for him, that his Lord would never decree anything that would be detrimental and, as such, he is required to be patient and steadfast in the face of adversity and grateful at times of ease.
In this treatise, the author, ibn Rajab sets out to explain the advice the Prophet (SAW) imparted to ibn Abbas (radiyAllahu’anhuma), ‘Safeguard Allah and He will safeguard you. Safeguard Allah and you will find Him in front of you. Know Allah in times of ease and He will know you in times of hardship. When you ask, ask Allah. When you seek aid, turn to Allah. The Pen has dried (after having written) all that will occur…’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that if a Muslim was to understand this hadith and follow it closely, he would be well on his way to fulfilling the goals highlighted above. It is for this reason that ibn al-Jawzi said, ‘I pondered this hadith and it struck me with awe; I was so astounded that I almost became light headed… The prevailing ignorance of this hadith and the lack of understanding thereof is truly distressing!’.
‘Abdu’l-Qadir al-Jilani said, ‘Every believer should make this hadith a mirror to his heart, his axiom, his shelter and his topic of conversation. He should act by it in all times of motion and stillness so that he can be saved in this world and in the Hereafter.’
Imam ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d.795H) was a scholar praised extensively for his vast knowledge, ascetism and expertise in the Hanbali school of thought as well as in hadith and its related sciences. His writings, gatherings and sermons were full of blessings and he was loved by all. He has written numerous monographs explaining individual hadiths of which this one, a series of which is currently being published by Daar us-Sunnah Publishers.
The translator has added appendices which comprise further explanations to the hadith by Mulla Ali al-Qari, ibn ‘Allan, and ibn ‘Uthaymin
The document discusses downloading the Tajwidi Quran. It provides a resource for obtaining a digital copy of the Quran with Tajweed rules included to help with proper recitation. The document likely contains a link or instructions for accessing the Tajwidi Quran in an electronic format.

Terminology used in this Book
1. Rubb: Some prefer to translate the term 'Rubb' into 'Lord.'
Beside the fact that the latter is a Biblical term referring to
the alleged lordship of the slave of Allah, Prophet Jesus, the
word 'lord' which is limited to 'master', 'chief', 'proprietor',
or 'ruler', can never convey the conclusive signification of
the term 'Rubb'. Among other signification, the term 'Rubb'
means, the Creator, the Fashioner, the Provider, the One
upon Whom all creatures depend for their means of
subsistence, and the One Who gives life and causes death.
2. Deen: The word translated as religion is 'Deen', which in
Arabic commonly refers to a way of life, which is both
private and public. It is an inclusive term meaning: acts of
worship, political practice, and a detailed code of conduct,
including hygiene or etiquette matters.
3. [:I] Sal'lal'laaho a'laihi wa sal'lam. Some translate it as
peace be upon him. This translation is incorrect; the correct
translation is, may Allah exalt his mention, and render him
and his household safe and secure from every derogatory
thing.
4. [.$.] Radi Allahu anhu. This means: 'with whom Allah is
pleased.' It is said when a Companion's name is mentioned.

Introduction
All praise is due to Allah, Whose aid we implore, and
Whose forgiveness, guidance and protection against our
own evil sinful acts we seek. He Whom Allah guides aright
none can lead astray, and whom He leads astray none can
guide aright.
I testify that there is no true god worthy of being
worshipped except Allah, Who has no partner and I testify
that Muhammad (:I) is the slave of Allah and His
Messenger. May Allah exalt his mention and render him, his
household and his Companions safe from all evil.
This is a short, but beneficial treatise on purification and
Prayers.
I will state general guidelines concerning each matter and
clarify common mistakes that are made during the Wudhu
and Prayer.
I ask Allah, the Exalted, to bless this work and to make
people benefit from it. Ameen

8. Rules qfPurification and Prayers
Purification
Allah (~) has blessed this Ummah (nation) with an
exceptional code of hygiene; no other nation has witnessed a
similar system. It was said to Salman aI-Farsi (*):
"Your Prophet (:I) taught you everything, even how to
relieve yourselves! Salman (.) answered, 'Of course!
He forbade us to face the Qiblah when answering the
call of nature (i.e. when defecating or urinating), to
cleanse ourselves using our right hands, or to use less
than three stones when purifying ourselves. He also
forbade us to cleanse ourselves using dry dung or
bones." (Muslim)
The Arabic word for 'purification' is 'ta-ha-ra', which literally
means 'purity'; from an Islamic point of view this term refers
to a state of cleanliness which a Muslim must be in to
perform certain acts of worship. Although this purification
will render one physically clean, the actual purpose behind
purification in Islam is spiritual cleanliness. This is clear
from the Prophet's words:
"What do you think? If there was a river at the door of
one of you in which he bathes five times a day, would
there be any filth left on him?" They answered, "There
would be no filth left." The Prophet (:I) said, "That is
like the five prayers, through them Allah effaces the
sins." (Bukhari)
5
9. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Purification is a precondition for the acceptance of prayer.
The Prophet (;I) said:
"No prayer is accepted without purification..." (Muslim)
In Islam, one is encouraged and commanded to be clean.
Jabir (.$) said:
"Once the Messenger of Allah (;I) came to us and saw a
man with shaggy hair. He said (;I) 'Couldn't he find
something to tidy his hair up?' Then he saw another
man with dirty clothes and said, 'Couldn't this man
find anything with which to clean his clothes?'" (Ahmed)
If a Muslim purifies himself in. the manner ordained in the
Shari'ah (Islamic Jurisprudential Laws) his Prayers will
purify him from sins.
In general, purity is of two types:
a. Spiritual cleanliness,
b. Habitual cleanliness.
Spiritual cleanliness refers to purification from Shirk (Le.
associating partners with Allah). Allah says:
(Verily, the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters,
disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and in the
Message of Muhammad) are Najasun (impure).) (9:28)
Habitual cleanliness refers to purification from major and
minor ritual impurities.
6
10. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Merits of Purification
1. Allah (~)
says:
(Indeed Allah loves those who continually seek
repentance and those who purify themselves.) (2:222)
2. The Prophet (:I) said:
"Cleanliness is equal to half of Iman (Faith) ..." (Muslim)
3. The Prophet (~) said: "The following verse was revealed
concerning the people of Quba:
(Wherein are men who love to purify themselves.
And Allah loves those who purify themselves') (9:108)
They used to cleanse themselves with water (after answering
the call of nature), so this verse was revealed.' (Tirmidthi)
4. The Prophet (;'$) said:
"0 Bilal, tell me the most promising deed you have
done in Islam, for I heard the sound of your footsteps
in ]annah (Heavenly Abode)!" Bilal answered: "I haven't
done an act more hopeful to me than this: I have never
performed Wudhu (ablution) during the day or night
except that I performed what I could of voluntary
prayers after it." (Bukhari)
5. The Prophet (~) said:
"Shall I not inform you of a deed with which Allah
effaces the sins and elevates one's rank?" They replied:
"Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah!" He said, "Performing
Wudhu in a complete manner even if it is difficult,
7
11. Rules of Purification and Prayers
walking towards the Masaajid and waiting for the next
prayer after observing one..." (Muslim)
12. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Means of Purification
When one is in a state of minor or major ritual impurity
water is the only means through which one can achieve
purification.
As for purification from impurities in general, water and
other substances can be used. In general, whatever removes
the filth whether it is water or any other substance is
sufficient. There is a beneficial maxim which can be applied
here regarding water:
All water that descends from the heavens or comes forth
from the earth is pure in itself and purifies other things as
well.
Rain water, whether it is running in valleys or has collected
in an area is pure. A person can perform Wudhu and purify
himself from major ritual impurities. This applies to sea
water as well. The Prophet (~) was asked about the sea and
he (:I) said:
"Its water is pure and its dead! are lawful." (Abu Dawood)
It is clear from this Prophetic Tradition that sea water is pure
and purifies one from minor and major ritual impurities and
from impurities in general.
1 This refers to the animals that live in the sea, not what has fallen into it
and died thereafter! Therefore, if a sheep falls into the sea and dies as a
result of drowning, it is unlawful for consumption.
9
13. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Dust or dry sand is also a purifying and cleansing agent.
Purification in this manner is called 'Tayammum'(dry
ablution). Allah, the Exalted, says
(And if you are sick or traveling, or if you have an
intercourse and could not find water, then perform
Tayammum using pure dust and wipe therewith your
faces and hands.) (5:6)
10
14. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Manners related to answering the call of nature
When a Muslim wants to answer the call of nature there are
certain manners one must observe.
1. One should enter the washroom with his left foot first. It is
praiseworthy for one to say:
0;' , , ' "
~~IJ ~I 0-0 4»4 ,);'i
... , ... "'"
A'oodthubillah me'nal Khubthee wal-Khabaa'ith'
I begin with the name of Allah; I seek refuge with Allah
from the male and female devils.
2. One should exit it with his right foot and say:
• J
~~..lnp
'Ghufraanak'
I seek the forgiveness of Allah
When one needs to answer the call of nature in an open area,
he should conceal himself from people. He should not face
the direction of the Qiblah, nor give it his back. He should
safeguard himself, so that no urine splatters on him.
It is unlawful for one to relieve himself on footpaths or in a
place where people seek shade.
3. One should not carry anything with the name of Allah
written on it, unless he fears that he may lose it.
11
15. Rules of Purification and Prayers
4. One should not urinate while standing up. A'ishah, may
Allah be pleased with her, said:
'Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah (~)
urinated while standing up do not believe him; he only
urinated while he was sitting.' (Tirmidthi)
5. One should clean himself from impurities after answering
the call of nature. The Prophet (~) said: -
'Safeguard yourselves from the splattering of urine, for
most of those being punished in the graves are being
punished on account of this.'
6. One should not cleanse himself with his right hand. This
is reported in the Hadeeth of Abdurrahmaan b. Zaid, in
which he said that it was said to Salman aI-Farsi (~):
"Your Prophet (~) taught you everything, even how to
relieve yourselves! Salman (~) answered, 'Of course!
He forbade us to face the Qiblah when answering the
call of nature (i.e. when defecating or urinating), to
cleanse ourselves using our right hands, or to use less
than three stones when purifying ourselves. He also
forbade us to cleanse ourselves using dry dung or
bones." (Muslim)
Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:
'The Prophet (:i) used his right hand for eating,
drinking... giving and taking, and his left hand for
other than that.' (Abu Dawood)
12
16. Rules ofPurifica,tion and Prayers
7. Purifying one's hand afterwards with soap or similar
cleansing agent, in order to remove the bad smell. Abu
Hurairah (_) said:
'When the Prophet (;i) relieved himself, I would bring
him water and he would purify himself with it, and
then wipe his hand on the earth.' (Abu Dawood)
13
17. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Impurities
1. Dead animals, which have not been slaughtered
Islamically.
2. Blood that has flowed from an animal or a human body.
3. Pig or any part of it.
This is taken from Allah's words:
(Say (0 Muhammad): "I find not in that which has
been inspired to me anything forbidden to be eaten by
one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maytatah (a dead
animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the
like), or the flesh of swine (pork, etc.) for that surely is
impure, or impious (unlawful).) (6:145)
Anq in His words:
(Forbidden to you (for food) are: AI-Maytatah (the
dead animals -- cattle-beast not slaughtered), blood, the
flesh of swine.) (5:3)
4. Dog. The Prophet (~) said:
'If a dog eats out of a utensil, let him pour out its
contents, and then wash it seven times, the first of
which should be with mud.' (Muslim)
5. Human vomit, urine and excrement.
14
18. Rules of Purification and Prayers
6. AI-Wadi (prostatic fluid emitted subsequent to urination).
7. AI-Madthi (prostatic fluid emitted as a result of sexual
excitement).
8. Urine and stool of animals that is not permissible for
cansumption.
9. Animals that eat the feces of other animals. This is called
,aI-Jal'laalah '
Ibn Abbas (~) said:
'The Messenger of Allah (~) forbade drinking the milk
of the ]al'laalah'. (Abu Dawood)
*Note concerning liquor and non-Muslims
Question: Is a non-Muslim filthy, such that a Muslim must
redo his wudhu if he touches one of them?
The preponderant opinion is that a non-Muslim is not filthy
in this sense, for the Messenger of Allah (~) ate from the
gifts given to him by non-Muslims; although a non-Muslim
is filthy in matters pertaining to Aqeedah (Creedal Beliefs).
15
19. Rules ofPuritication and Prayers
Sunan al-Fitrah
Allah has chosen certain practices for His Prophets; Muslims
are to follow these as well, they are known as Sunan al-
Fitrah, or the Muslim's cleanliness obligations. Basically they
comprise natural hygiene. They are:
1. Trimming the moustache. The Prophet (:I) said:
'Differ from the polytheists, grow the beards and trim
the moustache.' (Bukhari & Muslim)
2. Growing beards. This is incumbent upon every male
Muslim. The Prophet (:I) said:
'Grow the beards and trim the moustache.' (Bukhari)
Allah warns those who disobey His Messenger, saying:
(Let those who disobey his command beware lest they
are subjected to a Fitnah or a painful torment.) (24:63)
3. The use of Siwak (tooth-stick). The Prophet (~) said:
'Had it not been for the fact that I would overburden
my Ummah (nation) I would have ordered them to use
the Siwak, as I ordered them to perform Wudhu.' (Silsilah
as-Saheehah)
4. Sniffing water, which is a procedural step of Wudhu.
5. Clipping fingernails and toenails.
6. Washing the knuckles.
16
20. Rules of Purification and Prayers
7 & 8. Removing hair from the armpits and pubic area (by
plucking, shaving or cutting).
9. Istinja, which is the cleaning of the two exits with water.
10. The narrator of the Hadeeth said: 'I forget what the tenth
was, unless it is rinsing the mouth during Wudhu.'
Abu Hurairah (~) narrated that the Prophet (~) said:
Five acts are from the Fitrah:
1. Shaving off pubic hair.
2. Circumcision
3. Trimming the moustache.
4. Clipping fingernails and toenails.
5. Plucking or shaving off armpit hair.
Question: I have noticed that some people in the Masjid let
their nails grow long and they are filled with dirt. Is this
befitting for a Muslim? Is their Wudhu valid? Is there a
specified time limit for cutting the nails, or for doing other
things that are Sunan al-Fitrah (specific Sunnah connected to
the natural disposition of man)?
Answer: Praise be to Allah. The nails must be cut at least
once every forty days, because the Messenger of Allah (~)
specified a time limit within which people should cut their
nails, shave their pubic hair, pluck their armpit hair and trim
their moustaches, and not leave it for more than forty days.
This is affirmed authentically. Anas (~), who was the
17
21. Rules of Purification and Prayers
servant of the Messenger of Allah (~) said: "He set a time for
us to trim our moustaches, cut our nails, pluck our armpit
hair and shave our pubic hair; we were not to leave that for
more than forty days." (Muslim)
It was also narrated by Imam Ahmad (11823) and by al-
Nasaa'i (14) with the wording:
JJThe Messenger of Allah (~) set a time limit for us, we
were not to neglect our nails and moustaches, and
shaving the pubic hair and plucking the armpit hair
beyond forty days."
Both men and women must pay attention to this matter and
not leave the nails, moustache, pubic hair or armpit hair for
more than forty days.
Wudhu is valid and is not affected by whatever dirt is under
the fingernails, because it is a small amount and may be
looked over. (Bin Baz)
18
22. Rules ofPuritication and Prayers
Wudhu
Its Merit:
Allah, the Exalted, says:
(0 you who believe! When you perform Salah wash
your faces and your arms to the elbows, wipe your
heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles.) (5:96)
Wudhu is a condition for the validity of prayers. The Prophet
(~) said:
"No prayer is accepted without purification, and no
charity is accepted from earnings made from
impermissible sources." (Muslim)
The Prophet (~) also said:
"When a Muslim or a Believer washes his face while
performing Wudhu every sin that he committed (as a
result of looking) is washed away with water, or with
the last drop of water. When he washes his hands,
every sin that his hands committed washes away with
water or with the last drop of water. When he washes
his feet, every sin that his feet committed washes away
with water or with the last drop of water until he
emerges pure and sin-free." (Muslim)
The Prophet of Allah (~) said:
"Whoever performs Wudhu as he is ordered (in
Shari'ah) and performs prayer as he is ordered, his past
sins will be effaced." (Bukhari)
19
23. Rules of Purification and Prayers
The Prophet (~) said:
'If a slave makes Wudhu, and then goes to the Masjid
and performs prayer therein, he is a guest of Allah, and
it is a right upon the host to honor his guest.' (Baihaqi)
The Prophet (~) said:
"The key to prayer is Wudhu." (Abu Dawood)
How to perform Wudhu?
General Description
The general description of how to perform Wudhu is found
in the words of Allah:
(0 you who believe! When you intend to offer As-
SaMt (the Prayer), wash your faces and your hands
(forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands
over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles.)
(5:6)
Basically, the steps mentioned in the ayah are as follows:
1. Niyyah (intention): It is to be thought in the mind only, not
to be expressed verbally. The Prophet (:'lI$) said:
"Deeds are considered by intentions." (Bukhari)
2. Basmallah (i.e. to say Bismillah). The Prophet (~) said:
"No Wudhu is valid without pronouncing the name of
Allah." (Ibn Majah)
20
24. Rules of Purification and Prayers
3. Washing the hands 2 three times.
4. Gargling and sniffing water (at the same time) three times.
5. Washing the face, three times.
6. Washing the arms up to the elbows three times, beginning
with the right3 .
7. Wiping the head with wet hands, then wiping inside the
ears with the forefingers, and their backs with the thumbs. 4
8. Washing the feet including the ankles, three times,
beginning with the right foot.
9. Saying the Testimony of Faith, upon completing the
Wudhu.
Ashhadu an- laa ilaahah il'lallaah wa ash hadu an'na
Muham'madan Abdoho wa rasooloho
2 The hand here is from the tips of the fingers to the elbows, including
the elbows.
3 Whoever has an amputated arm or hand should wash whatever is left
of the hand or arm. If the whole hand or arm is cut off, he should wash
the amputated area as well.
4 One should not wet his hands separately for wiping the ears. All the
Companions who described the Prophet's performance of Wudhu did not
state that he rewashed his hands for the ears. It is also narrated that the
Prophet (;l:!) said:
"The ears are part of the head."
21
25. Rules of Purification and Prayers
i.e. I testify that there is no true god except Allah, and I
testify that Muhammad (:I) is His slave and Messenger.
One should keep in mind that the Wudhu for men and
women is the same.
22
26. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Preconditions of Wudhu
The preconditions of Wudhu are:
1. Islam. Wudhu is not valid from a non-Muslim.
2. Intellect (sanity). Wudhu is not valid from an insane
person.
3. Age of discretion. Wudhu is not valid from a young child
who has not reached the age of discretion, or cannot intend
an action independently.
4. The water should be pure. Water that is impure is not
lawful to use for purification.
5. Substances that prevent the water from reaching the parts
of Wudhu should be removed. A person must remove dirt,
mud, dough and wax so that water can reach the part
directly.
23
27. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Obligatory acts of Wudhu
The Wudhu comprises of obligatory and Sunnah
(recommended) acts. There are six obligatory acts:
1. Saying 'Bismillah' (i.e. I begin with the name of Allah). The
Prophet (~) said:
"No Wudhu is valid without pronouncing the name of
Allah." (Ibn Majah)
2. Intention (to do it in obedience to Allah and to please
Him). It is to be thought of only in the mind; one shouldn't
utter it. Uttering it is an act of Bid'ah (innovation) which
should be avoided. The Prophet (~) said:
"Deeds are considered by intentions." (Bukhari)
3. Washing the face once. Allah says:
(And wash your faces.) (5:6)
4. Mudmudah (gargling). The Prophet (~) said:
'If you make Wudhu, gargle.' (Abu Dawood)
5. Istinshaaq (sniffing). The Prophet (~)
said:
'Excessively sniff (water) except if you are fasting.' (Abu
Dawood)
6. Washing the forearms, including the elbows at least once.
It has not been reported that the Prophet (~) left washing the
elbows, even once.
24
28. Rules of Purification and Prayers
7. Wiping the head with wet hands.
8. Washing the feet, including the ankles at least once. The
Prophet (~) said: .
'Woe to the heels from the fire. t
He (~) repeated this two or three times. (Agreed Upon)
Abdurrahmaan b. Abi Laila said: 'The Companions of the
Prophet (:I) all agreed that the ankles should be washed.'
9. Sequence. One should make Wudhu in the order and
manner the Prophet (;'5) did.
10. Consecutiveness. One should not delay washing one
limb after another till the previous limb turns dry.

29. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Sunnah (recommended) acts of Wudhu
A Sunnah action is what the Prophet (~) practiced and which
Muslims are encouraged to follow. They are not mandatory
actions; whoever does them gains additional reward,
1. Using siwak (tooth-stick) before the Wudhu, The Prophet
(~) said:
'Had it not been for the fact that I would overburden
my Ummah (nation) I would have ordered them to use
the Siwak, as I ordered them to perform Wudhu.' (Silsilah
as-Saheehah)
The Prophet (~) said:
"The Siwak purifies the mouth, and pleases the Rubb."
(Tirmidthi)
2. Beginning by washing the hands three times, then by
rinsing out the mouth and nose three times. Aws ath-
Thaqafi (~) said:
"I saw the Messenger of Allah (~) making Wudhu and
he washed his hands three times (before commencing
the Wudhu)." (Nasa'ee)
3. Washing the face three times and (for men) rubbing water
into the beard,
Uthman (~) said:
'The Prophet (~) used to rub water into his beard."
(Tirmidthi)
26
30. Rules of Purification and Prayers
4. Washing .between the toes and fingers. The Prophet (~)
said:
'If you make Wudhu wash between your toes and
fingers.' (Tirmidthi)
5. Washing the Wudhu parts thrice. One should not exceed
this limit, for the Prophet (~) said:
'This is the Wudhu; whoever exceeds therein would
certainly have done wrong, exceeded the limits, and
transgressed.' (Nasa'ee)
6. Tayaamun (starting with the right side first). The Prophet
(~) said:
'If you put on your clothes, or make Wudhu, start with
the right side.' (Abu Dawood)
7. Saying the Testimony of Faith, upon completing the
Wudhu.
Ashhadu an-laa ilaahah il'lallaah wa ash hadu an'na
Muham'madan Abdoho wa rasooloho
i.e. I testify that there is no true god except Allah, and I
testify that Muhammad (:I) is His slave and Messenger.
8. The Muslim should not waste water when making Wudhu.
The Prophet (:i) said:
'Do not waste water, even if you are using it from a
running river!' (Abu Dawood)
27
31. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Blameworthy acts during Wudhu
1. To leave aside one or more Sunnah acts of Wudhu.
Nullifiers of Wudhu
1. Urination, defecation, passing wind. Allah says:
(Or any of you comes from answering the call of
nature.) (5:6)
The Prophet (~) said:
'Allah will not accept the prayer of one of you if he
breaks the wind until he performs Wudhu.' (Agreed Upon)
2. Semen, Madthi and Wadi. The Messenger of Allah (~) was
asked about Madthi and he said: 'make Wudhu.'
Ibn Abbas (~) said: 'One must make Ghusl for semen. As for
Madthi and Wadi the Messenger of Allah (~) said: 'Wash
your penis, and make Wudhu like you would for prayers.'
3. Deep sleep, unconsciousness, intoxication and insanity. As
for light sleep, in which one does not lose consciousness, it
will not break his Wudhu.
4. Sexual intercourse.
5. Touching the penis directly. The Prophet (~) said:
'Whoever touches his penis let him make Wudhu.'
(Tirmidthi)
28
32. Rules of Purification and Prayers
6. Apostasy.
7. Eating camel's meat. The Prophet (:i) was asked: 'Shall we
make Wudhu after eating camel's flesh?' He (:i) said: 'Yes.'
*Important note concerning 'camel's flesh'
*Eating camel's liver, fat, kidneys or intestines necessitates
the renewal of Wudhu since it is similar to camel meat.
*Drinking camel's milk will not nullify one's Wudhu for the
Prophet (~) ordered a group of people to drink from its milk
and did not order them to make Wudhu after that.
*It is best 'that a person make Wudhu after eating gravy of
camel's meat, in order to be on the safe side.
Things that do not nullify Wudhu
1. Touching a woman directly. A'ishah, may Allah be
pleased with her, said:
'A kiss will not nullify one's Wudhu, nor will it nullify
one's fast.' (Baz'zaar)
2. Bleeding, whether it is from a wound, cupping and
whether or not the blood that comes out is a lot or a little.
AI-Hasan, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
The Muslims continuously performed prayers and they had
wounds. (Bukhari)
29
33. Rules of Purification and Prayers
3. Vomit. This will not nullify one's fast, since no authentic,
unambiguous textual proofs verify this.
4. Laughing during prayer. There is no authentic report to
verify this.
5. Swearing (using bad words)
6. If you are not sure if you passed wind, then the rule is that
you haven't unless you hear or smell it.
Actions which require Wudhu
1. One must have Wudhu for prayers, whether they are
obligatory or supererogatory. One must have Wudhu when
performing Salatul ]inazah (Funeral Prayer). Allah says:
(0 you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Saltit
(the Prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms)
up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your
heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles.) (5:6)
It is lawful for the one who does not have Wudhu to make
Sujood at-Tilawah 5 or Sujood ash-Shukr6 because these types of
5 Sujood at-Tilawah: is a Sujood which is done after reciting a verse which
necessitates a prostration. There are 14 ayaat (verses) in the Qur'an that
necessitates this Sujood. It is not compulsory to make this type of Sujood,
rather it is praiseworthy.
6 Sujood ash-Shukr: this type of Sujood is done when Allah graces him with
an apparent bounty or ni'mah, the slave expresses his extreme gratitude
to Allah by making prostration or Sujood.
30
34. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Sujood (prostration) are not part of a prayer, but it is better
that one makes Wudhu before making Sujood.
2. One should perform Tawaf while he has Wudhu. The
Prophet (~) said:
"Circumambulation around the House of Allah (i.e. the
Ka'bah) is (similar to) prayer." (Tirmidthi)
3. Touching the Qur'an. The Prophet (~) said:
"No one should touch the Qur'an except him who is
pure." (Nasa'ee)
It is lawful for one to recite the Qur'an without touching it.
Actions for which Wudhu is commendable
1. Mentioning the name of Allah. Al-Muhaajir b. Qunfudth
(~) said that he greeted the Prophet (:'5) while he was
performing Wudhu and he did not answer him until he
performed Wudhu and then he answered him. He said:
"Nothing prevented me from responding to you except
that I disliked mentioning Allah while I was not in a
state of Taharah.' (Abu Dawood)
2. Upon sleeping. AI-Bara' b. Aazib (4b) said that the
Messenger of Allah (:'5) said:
"When you lay down to sleep, perform Wudhu as you
perform it for Salah, and lay down on your right
side... (Bukhari)

Wiping over the Khuff'
What is better?
Is wIpmg over the Khuff better than removing the Khuff
(leather boots) or socks and washing the feet?
Imam Ahmed, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "It is
better for the one who is wearing socks (after having worn
them while in a state of Wudhu) to wipe over them for this is
what the Prophet (~) and his Companions (4;.) did. If one's
feet are uncovered he should wash them, and should not put
socks on simply to avoid washing his feet. The Prophet (:I)
would wash his feet if they were uncovered, and would
wipe over the Khuff if he was wearing them."
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
'The Prophet (~) would not overburden himself, rather he
would wipe over his Khuff if he was wearing them and not
remove them. If they were uncovered he would wash his
feet, and not wear the khuff to wipe over them.'
Wiping Period
A resident (i.e. one who is not traveling) may wipe over his
socks for a day and a night; whereas, a traveler may wipe
over his socks for three days and three nights. The Prophet
(:j) said:
32
36. Rules of Purification and Prayers
"A traveler (may wipe over his socks) for three days and
three nights, and a resident (may wipe over his socks)
for a day and a night.' (Muslim)
When does the period begin?
The period of wiping for a resident or traveler begins from
the time he first wipes over them.
What part of the Khuff should be wiped?
The upper part of the Khuff should be wiped. This is
narrated in the Hadeeth of al-Mughirah (~). He said that he
saw the Messenger of Allah (~) wipe over the upper part of
the Khuff. (Tirmidthi)
Ali (~) said:
'Were the Deen taken by opinion, wiping the bottom of
the Khuff would be more intellectually sound than
wiping the upper part of the Khuff. I saw the
Messenger of Allah (~) wiping over the upper part of
the Khuff.' (Abu Dawood)
Is it lawful to wipe over the socks?
It is lawful to wipe over the socks, for it has been
authentically affirmed that the Companions (~) wiped over
their socks. Abu Dawood mentioned that Abdullah b.
Masood (~), Anas b. Malik (~), Al-Baraa b. Aazib (~), Ali b.
Abi Talib (~) and others wiped over their socks.
33
37. Rules of Purification and PralJers
Conditions for wiping over the Khuff or socks
1. The Khuff or socks must cover the foot and ankles. One
cannot wipe over shoes if they do not cover this area.
2. One must have worn the Khuff or socks while he had a
valid Wudhu. If one is not in a state of Wudhu when they put
on the socks or Khuff, they cannot wipe over them.
3. Seminal discharge invalidates wiping over the Khuff or
socks.
Procedure:
1. One should wet their hands and wipe the upper part of
the Khuff or socks.
2. One should wipe once only.
3. One should begin with the right foot using the right hand
and then wipe the left foot using the left hand.
4. It is permissible to wipe over the turban, and women may
wipe over their head cover for a period of time similar to the
period of wiping over the Khuff and socks, with the same
conditions.
34
38. Rules of Purification and Prayers
What nullifies wiping over the Khuff or socks
1. End of period. If a day and a night passes for a resident or
three days and three nights passes for a traveler, such
person cannot wipe over the Khuff or socks.
2. If one is in a state of Janabah (major ritual impurity).
Question: Someone performed Wudhu and then wiped
over his socks, and later on he took them off and
performed Salah. Is this Salah valid?
Answer: There is no harm in doing so if he took off his socks
while his Wudhu was still valid. But if he took them off after
invalidating his Wudhu, he should perform new Wudhu and
repeat the Salah he performed. (Bin Baz)
Question: Is it permissible to wipe over translucent socks?
Answer: It is not permissible to wipe over translucent socks
because the feet in such socks are considered as exposed and
wiping over exposed feet is not valid. (Bin Baz)
35
39. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Ghusl
Ghusl is washing the whole body with water. It is mandatory
for one to have a Ghusl in the following instances:
1. Discharge of seminal fluid as a result of sexual excitement,
whether he is awake or asleep (i.e. a wet dream). The
Prophet (~) said:
"When the seminal fluid is discharged (as a result of
sexual excitement) have a Ghusl.' (Abu Dawood)
2. Sexual intercourse. Once the private parts touch, one must
have a Ghusl even without ejaculation. The Prophet (;I) said:
"Once the two private parts come into contact, Ghusl
becomes mandatory.' (Ahmed)
3. At the end of a menstrual period. The Prophet (;I) said:
(Therefore keep away from women during menses and
go not unto them till they have purified (from menses
and have taken a bath). And when they have purified
themselves, then go in unto them as Allah has ordained
for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in
their vagina).) (2:222)
4. At the end of a post-natal period.
5. When a non-Muslim embraces Islam.
6. When a Muslim dies, it is mandatory that he be given a
Ghusl and be prepared for burial.
36
40. Rules of Purification and Prayers
It is commendable to have a Ghusl in the following instances:
1. Before attending the Friday prayer. The Prophet (:w5) said:
"It is a (compulsory) right upon every Muslim that he
bathes once every seven days. He should wash his head
and his body.' (Bukhari)
2. Before attending the two Eid prayers.
3. After having washed a dead body. The Prophet (ii) said:
"Whoever washes the body of a dead person let him
have a Ghusl and whoever carries the dead let him
make Wudhu.' (Ahmed)
4. Before entering Makkah. Imam Ibn al-Mundhir said: "It is
praiseworthy to have Ghusl before entering Makkah,
according to all the Scholars. No offering must be offered if
one leaves this aside. Majority of the Scholars mentioned
that performing Wudhu is sufficient."
Pillars of Ghusl
1. Niyyah (intention) that is the intention to perform Ghusl.
One should not utter the intention. Uttering the intention is
an act of Bid'ah (innovation) which should be forsaken.
2. Water must reach all parts of the body. Allah says:
(If you are in a state of ]anaba (i.e. had a sexual
discharge), purify yourself (bathe your whole body).)
(5:6)
37
41. Rules of Purification and Prayers
3. Making sure that water reaches the roots of the hair.
Sunnah acts of Ghusl
1. Tasmiyyah, i.e. to say 'Bismillah'.
2. Washing the hands three times before commencing the
Ghusl.
3. Washing the private region and removing any defilement.
How to perform Ghusl?
1. Intention, Le. to perform Ghusl.
2. Basmallah (i.e. to say 'Bismillah' - I begin with the name of
Allah)
3. Wash the hands.
4. Wash the private parts with the left hand.
5. Perform the Wudhu:
*wash the hands three times.
*Rinse the mouth three times.
*Cleanse the nostrils three times.
*Wash the face three times.
*Wash the arms including the elbows three times.
6. One may delay washing the feet and make it the last step.
38
42. Rules of Purification and Prayers
7. Pour water over the head three times. Rub the water into
the roots of the hair and wipe the inner parts of the ear.
8. Pour water over the rest of the body, starting with the
right side.
*Notes:
1. One may use soap or other cleansing agents.
2. At the end of a menstrual period a woman must undo her
hair. She does not have to undo her hair during Ghusl on
account of sexual intercourse.
3. When one performs Ghusl, he does not have to make
another Wudhu to perform prayers.
4. All things that invalidate a normal Wudhu will invalidate
purification status achieved through Ghusl.
Things a ]unub 7 cannot do
1. Salah
2. Performing Tawaf.
3. Touching the Qur'an. The Prophet (;I) said:
"No one should touch the Qur'an except him who is
pure." (Nasa'ee)
One may recite the Qur'an from memory, for the Prophet (~)
would be mindful of Allah at all times.
7 ]unub is one who is in a state of major ritual impurity.
39
43. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Tayammum
Tayammum is a dry ablution. Basically, it refers to using a
clean substance from the earth (soil, sand, dust, etc.) for
purification instead of water. Allah says:
(But if you are ill or on a journey or any of you comes
from answering the call of nature, or you have been in
contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse) and you
find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean
earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah
does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants
to purify you, and to complete His favor on you that
you may be thankful. ) (5:6)
The Prophet (;i) said:
"The earth is a place of prayer and means of
purification; therefore, when it is time to pray, let one
perform prayer wherever he is." (Bukhari)
When can one perform Tayammum?
1. When there is no water available or there is an
insufficient quantity for purification. Imran b. Husain (.)
said: 'We were traveling with the Messenger of Allah (~)
and he led people in prayer. He saw a man standing aside,
and he (~) said: "What prevents you from performing
prayers?" He said: "I am in a state of major ritual impurity,
and I have no water (to purify myself)." The Prophet (~)
said: 'Purify yourself with pure (dry) earth, for it is
sufficient." (Bukhari)
40
44. Rules of Purification and Prayers
The Messenger of Allah (~) said:
"Pure (dry) earth is a (sufficient) means of purification
for him who cannot find water for ten years." (Tirmidthi)
2. When the use of water is detrimental to one's health. Jabir
(.) said: 'We went on a travel, and one of those who were
with us was wounded by a rock on his head. He later on had
a wet dream, and he asked his companions: 'Is there any
permit for me so that I can perform Tayammum?' His
companions said: "We do not see you in a state whereby you
can use that permit, since you can use water." He then made
Ghusl and died. When they went to the Messenger of Allah
(it) and informed him of what had happened, he said:
"They killed him, may Allah kill them. They should
have asked when they were ignorant! Indeed the cure
of ignorance is asking." (Tirmidthi)
3. When the water is extremely cold and there is no way to
heat it. Amr b. AI-Aas (.$) said, 'I had a wet dream during a
very cold night, and thought that if I bathed I would kill
myself, so I made Tayammum and led my Companions in
prayer. When we arrived in Madinah and it was mentioned
to him what I had done, the Prophet (i!) said:
"0 Amr did you lead your Companions in prayer and
you were in a state of major ritual impurity?"
He said: "I remembered the words of Allah:
(And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one
another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you.) (4:29)
41
45. Rules ofPurification and Prayers
So 1 made Tayammum and performed the prayer. The
Messenger of Allah (:I) laughed and said nothing. (Ahmed)
The Prophet (~) approved of what Amr (.) did.
4. When seeking water endangers one's life and property.
5. When water is available but in limited quantity that is
needed for drinking, cooking or removing defilement from
clothes.
How to perform Tayammum?
1. Intention, it is to be made in the mind, not uttered.
2. Basmallah, i.e. to say Bismillah (I begin with the name of
Allah).
3. Strike the ground (or substance being used) with the
palms of the hands and then blow off any excess dust.
*Wipe the face with the hands once only.
*Wipe over the back of the right hand up to the wrist with
the palm of the left hand.
*Wipe over the back of the left hand up to the wrist with the
palm of the right hand.
42
46. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Important Notes:
1. This is the same method used when one performs
Tayammum instead of Ghusl.
2. Tayammum replaces Wudhu or Ghusl and enables a person
to do any acts of worship that normally require Wudhu or
Ghusl.
3. One does not have to renew the Tayammum for every
prayer, as long as the previous Tayammum was not
invalidated.
4. If a person has prayed with Tayammum and then water
becomes available, his completed prayer is valid and need
not be repeated.
5. If a person has made Tayammum in place of Ghusl, the
completed prayers are valid and need not be repeated. One
is obliged to take a bath as soon as possible.
Invalidators of Tayammum
1. Tayammum is invalidated once water is found.
2. It is also invalidated by any of the invalidators of Wudhu.
Question: What is the ruling on making Tayammum when
water is available?
43
47. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Answer: Praise be to Allah. This is a great evil for which this
individual must be rebuked, for making Wudhu is one of the
conditions of prayer when water is available. Allah says:
(0 you who believe! When you intend to offer As-
SaMt (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands
(forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands
over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the
ankles.) (5:6)
In Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim it is narrated that the
Messenger of Allah (~) said:
liThe prayer of anyone of you will not be accepted if he
breaks the wind, until he makes Wudhu."
Allah has permitted Tayammum, which takes the place of
Wudhu, when water is unavailable, or when one is unable to
use it due to sickness, etc. Allah says:
(0 you who believe! Approach not As-Salah (the
prayer) when you are in a drunken state until you
know (the meaning) of what you utter, nor when you
are in a state of ]anaaba (Le. in a state of sexual
impurity and have not yet taken a bath), except when
traveling on the road (without enough water, or just
passing through a mosque), till you wash your whole
body. And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you
comes after answering the call of nature, or you have
been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and
44
48. Rules of Purification and Prayers
you find no water, perform Tayammum with clean
earth and rub therewith your faces and hands
(Tayammum). Truly, Allah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-
Forgiving.) (4:43)
Imran b. Husain (~) said: 'We were traveling with the
Messenger of Allah (;i) and he led people in prayer. He saw
a man standing aside, and he (~) said: "What prevents you
from performing prayers?" He said: "I am in a state of major
ritual impurity, and I have no water (to purify myself)." The
Prophet (;i) said: 'Purify yourself with pure (dry) earth, for
it is sufficient." (Bukhari)
Therefore, it is clear that making Tayammum for prayer is not
permissible when water is available and one is able to use it.
In this case, it is obligatory for the Muslim to use water for
Wudhu and for making Ghusl from Janabah (major impurity
following sexual activity, wet dream, etc) no matter where
he is, so long as he is able to use it. (If one reverts to
Tayammum when water is readily available) his prayer will
be incorrect, because he has omitted one of the conditions of
prayer, which is purifying oneself with water when one is
able to do so. (Bin Baz)
45
49. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Question: Can one who has made Tayammum lead in
prayer people who have made Wudhu?
Answer: Praise b,e to Allah. Imam Ibn Hazm, may Allah
have mercy on him, said:
It is permissible for one who has made Tayammum to lead in
prayer people who have made Wudhu, and it is permissible
for one who has made Wudhu to lead in prayer people who
have made Tayammum. It is permissible for one who has
wiped over his socks to lead those who have washed their
feet and for one who has washed his feet to lead people who
have wiped over their socks, because each of the above
mentioned people have done what they are obligated to do.
None of them is more taahir (pure) than the other, and none
of them is more complete in prayer than the other. The
Messenger of Allah (ifi) commanded that the prayer should
be led by the one who has the most knowledge of the
Qur'an. He (:i) did not specify anything other than that. If
there had been any obligation other than that which he
mentioned, he would have explained it and would not have
neglected it - Allah forbid. This is the view of Imam Abu
Haneefah, Abu Yousef, Zufar, Sufyaan, al-Shaafa'i, Dawood,
Ahmad, Ishaaq and Abu Thawr. It was narrated on the
authority of Ibn 'Abbaas, ,Ammaar ibn Yaasir and a group
of the Sahaabah (Le. Companions) ($,). It is also the view of
Sa'eed ibn al-Musayyib, aI-Hasan, ,Ataa', al-Zuhri and
Hammaad ibn Abi Sulaymaan, may Allah have mercy on
them all.
46
50. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Imam Ibn Hazm, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 'There
is no evidence in the Qur'an or Sunnah, for disallowing that
(Le. to disallow one who has made Tayammum to lead in
prayer one who has made Wudhu) or regarding it something
unpraiseworthy.
47
51. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Salah
Prayer is the second pillar of Islam. The Messenger of Allah
(11) said:
Illslam is based on five; the Testimony that there is no
true god except Allah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah, to perform Salah (prayers), to give
Zakah (poor-due), to observe the fasting of the month
of Ramadhan and to perform Hajj." (Bukhari & Muslim)
The prayer effaces one's sins. The Prophet (:i) said:
IIWere a river to run by your door, in which you bathe
five times a day; do you think it would leave any
soiling on you? They said: 'No soiling would be left on
us.' He said: 'So are the five daily prayers with which
Allah effaces sins. (Bukhari & Muslim)
lit
The Prophet (:i) also said:
Any Muslim who performs an obligatory Salah with
II
perfect Wudhu, Rukoo (bowing), and Sujood
(prostration); he would have his previous sins effaced
as long as he does not commit major sins. This remains
effective throughout one's lifetime.''' (Bukhari & Muslim)
The prayer will be the first thing a person will be requited
for on the Day of Resurrection. The Prophet (:i) said:
IISaiah is the first thing about which man will be
questioned about on the Day of Resurrection. If it is
correct, the rest of his deeds will be likewise.
Otherwise, none of them will be accepted.''' (Abu Yala)
48
52. Rules of Purification and Prayers
There is a grave panishment for him who forsakes prayers.
The Prophet (:I) said:
"Between a man and infidelity is (only) the
abandonment of prayer.'" (Muslim)
He (:I) also said:
IIBetween a man and infidelity and Faith is Salah. He
who neglects it becomes a polytheist.'" (Muslim)
He (:I) also said:
"He who misses Salah is like the one who has lost his
family and property.'" (Ibn Hibban)
One should realize that performing prayer is not a matter of
choice; it is obligatory upon every adult Muslim, male and
female.
Preconditions of the Prayer
1. Islam. Prayer is not accepted from a non-Muslim. Allah
says:
(It is not for the Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters,
pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of God), to
maintain the Mosques of Allah (i.e. to pray and
worship Allah therein, to look after their cleanliness
and their building, etc.), while they witness against
their ownselves of disbelief. The works of such are in
vain and in Fire shall they abide.} (9:17)

2. Sanity. Prayer is not obligatory upon the insane. The
Prophet (:I) said:

person who is asleep until he gets up, the child until he
reaches the age of puberty and the insane until he
becomes sane. (Abu Dawood)
In
3. Age of puberty. Prayer is not compulsory upon a child

congregational), remember Allah standing, sitting,

7. Covering the Awrah8• The scholars unanimously agree that
covering the Awrah is a precondition of the prayer. Whoever
does not cover his Awrah while he can do so; his prayer is
rendered null and void.
8. Facing the Qiblah. Allah says:
(Verily! We have seen the turning of your
(Muhammad's) face towards the Heaven. Surely, We
shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall
please you, so turn your face in the direction of AI-
Masjid- al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you
people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that
direction. Certainly, the people who were given the
Scriptures (i.e. Jews and the Christians) know well
that, that (your turning towards the direction of the
Ka'bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth from their
Rubb. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.)
(2:144)
Pillars of the Prayer
The Prayer has fourteen pillars. If one of these pillars is left
out, the prayer will be null and void. These pillars are:
1. Intention. Its place is in the heart, one should not utter it
verbally. The Prophet (M) said:
IIIndeed deeds are considered by intentions.'" (Bukhari)
8 Awrah is the private region which must be covered. In relation to men,
it is from the navel to the knees and in relation to women it is her whole
body except the faCE: and hands.
51

2. The Takbeerah Al- Ihraam; that is to say: 'Allahu Akbar'. The
Prophet (;I) said:

3. Standing up if one is able to do so. Allah, the Exalted,

not speak to others during the Saltit (prayers)].) (2:238)

1I7th of it accepted, 1I6lh of it accepted, 1I5th of it

General Description
1. When a Musli m wants to perfor m Salah he shoul d face the
Qiblah, raise his hands and say: 'Allahu Akbar'. Praye r is not
compl ete until this pillar is completed. The Proph et (;I) said:
uWhen you intend to perfor m praye r, comp lete the
abluti on, then face the Qibla h and say Allah u-
Akbar.'(Ibn Majah)
*It is necessary that one utter this Takbeer; although, one does
not have to raise his voice excessively while doing so.
*The perso n shoul d raise his hands to the level of his
shoul ders (or earlobes) while keepin g the fingers together.
Ibn Umar ( ) said that the Messenger of Allah (~) raised his
hands to the level of his should ers when he starte d the
prayer, and when he made Takbeer for the Rukoo (bowing)
and when he raised his head from the Rukoo.
Raising the hands to the level of the earlobes is menti oned in
the Hadee th of Malik b. Huwa irith (.).
*The perso n shoul d then place his hands on his chest. Wa'il
b. Hujr (*) report ed that the Proph et (~) placed his hands
on his chest.
*The perso n shoul d look at the place of his Sujood. A'ishah,
may Allah be please d with her, said: 'His sight never left the

Sujoo d as-Sa hu
It consists of two prostr ations that are perfor med on accou nt
of addin g or missing a part of the Salah or being in doubt .
In the case of addin g somet hing in the Prayer:
Whoe ver adds an additi onal Rukoo or Sujood in his praye r
forgetfully shoul d perfor m Sujood as-Sahu after compl eting
the praye r and the Tasleem. Abdu llah b. Maso od (~) said
that the Proph et of Allah (~) perfor med the Dhuh r praye r as
five units. It was said to him: 'Has a unit been added to the
praye r?' The Comp anion s said to him: 'You perfor med five
units.' The Proph et (~) then perfor med two SUjood after he
made the Tasleem and then made Tasleem once more.'
In the case of missi ng somet hing in the Prayer:
Whoe ver forgets to perfor m an obligatory act of the praye r,
he shoul d make the Sujood as-sahu before the Tasleem.
If someo ne forgets the first Ta'shahud: Abdu llah b. Buhai nah
(*) report ed that the Proph et (~) perfor med the Dhuh r
praye r and stood up directly after the second Rakah and did
not sit down . Peopl e stood up with him. Upon compl eting
his Praye r he made Takbeer and made two Sujood, he then
made Tasleem.
In the case when one is in doubt :
If one is unsur e wheth er he perfor med two, three or four
units, then he has one of the following cases:
a. If he is surer of either m~tter (addit ion or missing) then in
that case he builds upon his surety, and makes Sujood as-

Sahu after the Tasleem. Abdullah b. Masood (~) said that the
Prophet (~) said:
"If one of you doubts in his Prayer, let him do what he
thinks is most correct, and complete his Prayer and
then make Salam (fasleem) and then perform two
Sujood thereafter.' (Agreed Upon)
b. If he is undecided, he should complete his prayer and
make two Sujood before the Tasleem. Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri
(.0,) said that the Messenger of Allah (:i) said:
"If one of you is doubtful in his prayer and does not
know whether he performed three or four units, let him
cast aside the doubt and build upon that which he is
sure of. Let him perform two Sujood before the
Tasleem. If then he has performed five units his prayer
would be sufficient, and if he has performed four units
it will humiliate the Satan.' (Muslim)
69
73. Rules of Purification and Prayers
Important Notes:
*If one forgets to make the Takbeertaul Ihram whether
forgetfully or intentionally his Prayer will not be accepted,
since it has not been initiated.
*If he missed out something else intentionally (of the pillars
of the prayer) then his prayer is rendered null and void.
*If he missed out a pillar unintentionally and remembers
during the next unit, the first unit is rendered null and void,
and the second unit takes the place of the first. If he forgets
and remembers just before initiating the next Fard
(obligatory) action he should go back and do what he
missed, and in both cases he should perform Sujood as-Sahu
before or after the Tasleem.
*If the Sujood as-Sahu is performed after the iriitial Salam,
one must perform another Salam afterwards.
*If one leaves aside an obligatory act of the prayer
intentionally his prayer will be rendered null and void. If he
leaves it aside forgetfully and remembers it before leaving
its due position and before initiating the next action in
prayer he should return and complete it, and complete his
prayer and then perform Sujood as-Sahu. If he only
remembers it after initiating the next
Fard (obligatory) action in prayer, then in that case he should
not return to it; rather he should make it up with Sujood as-
Sahu.
