Q & A

What are the 14 actions that can invalidate Salah?

The 14 actions that can invalidate Salah include things like being in a state of minor or major impurity (hadath), being in contact with impurities without cleaning them, exposing the awrah (private parts), speaking unintelligible words that could be understood, making unintentional movements, and intentional actions like eating or drinking during the prayer.

What happens if someone unintentionally passes gas during Salah?

If someone unintentionally passes gas during Salah, their prayer becomes invalid, as they are considered to have broken their state of purity (hadath). This applies even if the incident happens due to external pressure, like someone pressing on the stomach.

How long can najis (impurities) remain on the body during Salah before the prayer becomes invalid?

If najis (impurities) are not removed within a short period after realizing, typically around 2 seconds, the Salah is invalid. The person must act promptly to remove the impurity.

What should be done if the awrah is accidentally exposed during Salah?

If the awrah is exposed and not immediately covered, the prayer becomes invalid. The time limit to cover it is considered to be about 2 seconds, after which the Salah is considered invalid if the person does not quickly rectify the situation.

Is it allowed to speak unintelligible words during Salah?

Speaking unintelligible words during Salah, even if they don't form a meaningful phrase, will invalidate the prayer. If the words can be understood, even one word is enough to invalidate the prayer.

What is the ruling on unintentional eating or drinking during Salah?

Eating or drinking during Salah, whether intentional or unintentional, invalidates the prayer. However, the amount consumed, if small, could have different rulings depending on local custom.

How are movements during Salah judged in terms of validity?

Movements that involve major body parts like hands or feet and occur consecutively (three movements in a row) can invalidate Salah. However, movements involving smaller body parts like fingers or toes, or movements not performed consecutively, do not invalidate Salah.

What are the consequences of intentionally adding a rukun (pillar) in Salah?

Intentionally adding a rukun (such as extra rukuk or sujud) in Salah will invalidate the prayer. If the addition was not intentional, the person can perform sujud sahwi (compensatory prostration) to rectify the error.

Can a person invalidate their prayer by moving ahead of the imam?

Yes, if a person performs two rukun fi'li (actions like sujud, rukuk) before the imam, they have invalidated the prayer. However, if they are just slightly ahead without completing two actions, it is considered disliked (makruh) rather than invalid.

What happens if someone intends to break their prayer during Salah?

If someone intends to break their Salah (like thinking about ending it), the prayer becomes invalid, even if they don't physically act on the intention. This is due to the concept of 'niyyah' (intention) being integral to the prayer.
