The Pillars Of Prayer


From the conditions mentioned above four are pillars; they are:

Standing in prayer Recitation of Quran Bowing and Prostration

It has been said that the last sitting remaining the time equivalent to reciting the Tashahhud is also a pillar of prayer.

The reminder are conditions, some which validate the entrance into prayer,
and these are observed prior to prayer, while other conditions validate the continuance of the prayer.


Branches Associated With The Condition Of Prayer


That Which Is Associated With The Condition Of Purity


Prayer is valid upon libd (which is anything that is thick and possible
to be split into two with its length and breadth remaining) with the upper part being pure and the part underneath being filthy side.

Prayer is also permitted on a clean cloth with the upper part being clean while the inside layer is the filthy side. This is provided that the inside layer is not stitched to the outer layer (Mudarrab).

Prayer is also permitted on the clean side of a mat, clothes or carpet even if the filthy side moves with his motions; according to the most correct opinion.


Celanese's Of Clothing

If one of the sides of a persons turban is struck with filth during prayer, thereupon he throws the filthy part of the turban on the ground while the pure section remains on his head; the prayer is deemed valid provided the filthy part does not move with his motions, although if it does, the prayer is invalid.

One who has no means by which to remove the filth from his clothes, is permitted to pray with that filth, and no repetition of the prayer is required.
