Question:
Salam Aleykoum wr wb respected Sheikhs,
Forgive me for asking such a question, as I am a very ignorant person…
is it permissible to pray with stains on the clothes, even small, such as mud near the bottom of the pant legs, or paint stains?
I read somewhere that even for Hanafis the clothes have to be clean beyond a shadow of a doubt….
Sometimes we get busy in the day and so its not so easy to change clothes.
SHUKRAN
this website is amazing and so inspiring mashallah..
Hoping to become closer to Allah & his Prophet & his Saints…
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem
Drops of mud splashing on one’s clothes are forgiven as they are difficult to avoid and are deemed excusable. Still, it is good if you could give it a light wash/rinse.
Paint stains are not considered as najasah (filth) and it is allowed to pray even if you have them on your clothes.
