MORE ABOUT ABLUTION

Q.   How is it to perform the Salat without ablution?
*  It is a grave sin. So much so that some of the religion scholars hold that a person intentionally posturing for Salat without ablution, is a Kafir.

Q.   What is the evidence to show that ablution is one of the necessary conditions of Salat?
*  The following verse from the holy Qur-an:
YA AY-YU-HAL-LAZINA AMANU IZA QUMTUM ILAS-SALATI FAGHSILU WUJUHAKUM WA AIDIYAKUM ILALMARAFIQI WAMSAHU BI-RU’USIKUM WA ARJULAKUM ILAL-KA’BAIN.
(O believers when you stand up for Salat wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows and wipe your hands and your feet up to ankles.)
Hadrat Muham-mad (peace be on him) says:
MIFTAHUS-SALATIT-TAHURU
(Cleanness is the key to (pre-requisite for) Salat.)
