What amount of a najasat renders a cloth napak and impermissible to pray with?

Published as Repeating salaah if one finds impurity on one's clothing

· 21 Shawwal 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

1. If one finds any impurity, like a small amount of stool on his clothes, would the clothes be considered napak and would the prayers offered with such clothes need to be repeated?

2. What amount of a najasat renders a cloth napak and impermissible to pray with?

3. If I need to repeat the prayer, would only the Fardh and witr be repeated or also the sunnat and nafl?

Answer

1 - 2. If the impurity has not spread to the extent of the circumference of the inner part of the palm then the salaah will be valid. However, the soiled area should be cleaned.

3. Only the fardh and witr should be repeated.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
