4. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS OF SALAT?

5. 1. ISLAM
ُمَلاْسلإا
•Its opposite is Kufr(disbelief).
•The actions of a disbeliever are not accepted (by
Allah) regardless of what good deed he may
perform.

6. 2. SANITY
(‘AQL)
ُلْقَعلا
•Its opposite is insanity (junoon).
•As for the insane person, the pen (that
records his deeds) is lifted from him until
he regains sanity.
•The proof for this is the hadeeth: “The pen
is lifted from three people: A person
sleeping until he wakes up; an insane
person until he regains sanity; and a
child until he reaches the age of
puberty.”

7. 3. REACHING THE AGE OF MATURITY
(TAMYEEZ)
ُزييْمَتلا
•Its opposite is childhood
(sughr).
•Its extent is the age of seven
years, then he is to be
commanded to pray.
The proof for this is the
Messenger of Allaah’ssaying:
“Command your children to
pray by (the age of) seven. And
beat them to do it by (the age of)
ten. And separate them from
their beds.”

8. 4. LACK OF RITUAL IMPURITY
(RAF’ AL HADATH)
ُعْفَرِثَدَحلا
•Raf’-ul-Hadath(Uplifting
Ritual Impurity):
•This refers to the ablution
(wudoo) that is well known.
•The proof for this is Allaah’s
saying:
“O you who believe! When
you rise to pray, wash your
faces and your hands up to
the elbows. Wipe your heads
(with water), and (wash)
your feet up to the ankles.”

9. 5. REMOVAL OF FILTH
(IZAALAT-UN-NAJAASAH)
ِةَساَجَّنلا ُةَلاَزِإ
This requires removing it from three
things:
1.From one’s body,
2.from one’s garments and
3.from the area (he is praying in).
The proof for this is Allaah’s
saying:
“And purify your garments.”
[Surah Al-Muddathir: 4]

10. 6. COVERING THE AWRAH
(SITR-UL-‘AWRAH)
ُرْتسِةَرْوَعلا
•The People of Knowledge have
unanimously agreed that the prayer of
one who prays naked while having the
ability (to clothe himself) is invalid.
“O Children of Aadam, take your
adornment (by covering yourselves with
clean clothes) when praying [Surah Al-
A’raaf: 31]

11. 7. THE ENTRANCE OF THE PROPER TIME
)DUKHOOL-UL-WAQT(
ُلوُخُدتْقَولا
•The proof for this from the Sunnahis
the hadeethof Jibreel, peace be on
him, when he lead the Prophet in one
prayer during the initial times for it
and during the last part of the hour of
it, saying to him afterward: “
O Muhammad, the prayer is between
these two times.”
•And also Allaah’sstatement:
“Verily, the prayer is enjoined on the
believers at fixed hours.” [Surah An-
Nisaa: 103]

12. 8. FACING THE QIBLAH
)ISTIQBAAL-UL-QIBLAH(
ةَلْبِقلا ُلاَبْقِتْسا
•The proof for this is Allaah’sstatement:
“Verily, We have seen the turning of
your face (O Muhammad) towards the
heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a
Qiblah(proper direction) that will
please you. So turn your face to the
direction of Al-Masjid-ul-Haraam.”
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 144

13. 9. THE INTENTION
)AN-NIYYAH(
ُةَيِّنلا
•Its place is in the heart, and
as for vocalizing it, then this
is an innovation.
•The proof for this condition is
the hadeeth:
“Verily actions are based on
intentions, and verily every
man will have what he
intends.
