COVERING CONCEALABLE PARTS
(The fourth pre-condition
for Salat)
Q. What do we can mean by covering the
concealable parts?
Every male adult is commanded to cover
his body right from his navel to his knees. This command holds good in and
outside the Salat. Women are commanded to cover all their body excepting their
two palms, feet and face. Although women are not commanded to cover their faces
while offering Salat, they are not allowed to come out with their faces
uncovered in the presence of men other than their kith and kin.
Q. How is it if some concealable part of the
body inadvertently remains uncovered?
If one fourth part of such a part of the
body remains inadvertently uncovered for a period of time sufficient to say
thrice:
SUBHANA RAB-BIYAL’ADHIM
Salat
is not valid. If, however, it is covered as soon as it gets uncovered, the
Salat is valid.
Q. How is it if a naked performs the Salat?
If he has clothes and still offers the
Salat naked whether in darkness or light, his Salat is void.
Q. How is it if a person deliberately uncovers
one fourth of his concealable part?
The moment one does so intentionally his
Salat gets abrogated.
Q. What should a person do if he has no
clothes at all?
If a person has no clothes to put on, he
may use some other things to cover to put on, he may use some other things to
cover his body such as tree-leaves, sack cloth etc. If nothing at all is
available, he may offer the Salat naked. But in such a situation it is better
to perform the Ruku’ or Sijdah just by token or sign.
