Conditions For validity of SALAH


 Conditions For validity of SALAH

The beginning of prayer
time
This is the most important condition. A
prayer offered before its time has begun is
not valid, according to scholarly consensus,
because Allah says in the Quran:
"Verily, As-Salah (the prayer) is enjoined
on the believers at fixed hours."
lal-Nisa 4:103]

Covering the "awrah
If a person prays with his 'awrah
uncovered, his prayer is not valid, because
Allah says in the Quran:
"O Children of Adam! Take your
adornment (by wearing your clean
clothes) while praying"
lal-A'raf7:31]

Taharah (purity)
Taharah (purity), which is of two types:
purity from ritual impurity (hadath) & purity
from tangible impurity (najas).
1. Purity from major and minor ritual impurity
(hadath). If a person prays when he is in a
state of ritual impurity, then his prayer is
invalid according to scholarly consensus,
because of the report narrated by al-Bukhari
(6954) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) who said:
"Allah does not accept the prayer of one of
you if he becomes ritually impure, unless he
does wudu."
2. Purity from najasah or tangible impurity.
If a person prays with some impurity on him,
and he is aware of that and remembers it is
there, then his prayer is not valid,

The worshipper should avoid
najasah in 3 places:
Purity from najasah or tangible impurity. If
a person prays with some impurity on him,
and he is aware of that and remembers it
is there, then his prayer is not valid.
1. The body
2. The clothing
3. The place in which prayer
is offered,

Facing towards the qiblah
If a person offers an obligatory prayer
facing anywhere other than the qiblah,
when he is able to face it, then his prayer
is invalid according to scholarly consensus,
because Allah says in the Quran:
"'so turn your face in the direction of
Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah). And
wheresoever you people are, turn your
faces (in prayer) in that direction."
lal-Baqarah 2:1441

Intention (niyyah)
If a person prays without forming the
proper intention then his prayer is invalid,
because of the report narrated by
al-Bukhari from
"Umar ibn al-Khattab (may
Allah be pleased with him) who said: I
heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) say:
"Actions are but by intentions and each
person will have but that which he
intended"
"Allah does not accept any deed
unless it is accompanied by the right
intention.

The six conditions mentioned above apply
only to prayer. To them may be added the
general conditions that apply to all acts of
worship: one should be a Muslim, of
sound mind, and of the age of
discernment

This action of their is unapproved from the Islamic Sources (The Quran & Sunnah) and it is considered as Haram and Bidah (Innovation). The Prophet did not do them, nor did any of his companions. None of his companions did them when he or anyone else died, although the loss of prophet Muhammad was greater than the death of Hussain  رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. Prophet ﷺ,  strictly forbade harming oneself over the loss of someone dear to us and said: "He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, rends his garment, or cries with the cry of the Jaahiliyyah." (Sahih Bukhari : 1294) Infact these Shia do matm just as a showoff, because the loss of  Hussain (رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) is a lesser loss than the...
