CLEANNESS OF CLOTHES
(Second pre-condition for
Salat)
Q. What do we mean by the cleanness of
clothes?
It is necessary that clothes (such as
shirt, cap, turban, coat, etc) on the body of one who is offering Salat are
clean in the sense that there should neither be major uncleanness more than the
size of a derham, nor minor uncleanness covering more than one fourth part of a
clothing. This is an essential prerequisite for the validity of Salat. Thus, if
major uncleanness covers an area less than the circumference of a derham or
minor uncleanness involves less than one fourth of the clothing Salat will be
technically valid but undesirable.
Q. Is Salat valid if one corner if the long
turban used by the worshipper is unclean though it is separate from the body of
such a worshipper?
A clothing that is attached to the body
of the worshipper in such a way that it moves along with his movement, must
needs be free from uncleanness. Hence, in such a situation the Salat will not
be valid. It is because the turban will also move along with the movement of
his body.
