Taharah

26 Sep 2021 Ref-No#: 3574

As salaam alaykum

Kindly advise: what is the maximum amount of najasat if found on the body or clothes will not render the salat invalid?

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

It is Mustahab (preferable) to remove all impurity before praying.

However, if the impurity is minor impurity (Najasah Khafifa), then until a quarter of the soiled area will be overlooked (example: quarter of the sleeve, quarter of the leg etc).

If the impurity is Ghalidha (major impurity), then it will be permissible to still pray with that garments if the amount of less than the diameter of 2.75 cm  (hollow part of the hand)
