 لقد حرمت مع حراماني كما خمس لم يقاتلنا نحن نتحدث عن المستخدمة هل هناك أيضا كريتيري أو أيضا مكان أخرى where one is not allowed or refrain from praying Salah there إن شاء الله أعوذ بالله السميع إن عليمنا الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله عليه وسلم على محمد وآله الطيبين والطاهرين وصلى الله عليه وسلم There are nine conditions and criteria with regard to the place of the praying person or the place of the now we've discussed three of them now the fourth and the rest of the criteria we begin with today إن شاء الله now number four you have to make sure that you pray in a place that is not haram or forbidden and what does that mean let's say if you pray under a roof in which is almost going to collapse and fall down and that happens in the war zones those who are living in almost half demolished or destroyed properties and they still live there because they have no place to go deprived family they have no money to migrate to other countries now if you know that that roof will you know will fall anytime then you're not allowed to pray under it's haram forbidden you can't pray there we can give other examples for example you know that the place you pray let's say a tent or a cottage and you know that there are beasts might attack and you have to avoid praying in such places so anything that harms yourself brings dirt and harm to yourself you have to avoid it and don't pray in that place what about in today's society شكراً أفوشان all over the world you know if I may mention some countries Yemen Syria Iraq a couple of years back these are like war zones are we allowed to pray there or because an airstrike or a bomb can happen at anytime well as I've mentioned if it's about to you know let's say the property about to collapse about to you know through a missile you know there's the sound of the airplanes yes the sound of the sirens for example you have to make sure you avoid praying that time until you feel it's safe you can pray then you can begin to pray I guess you need to understand the daily routines and understand whether there is going to be a situation or not in order to pray but most likely because there's always a ceasefire there's always they fight for a certain amount of time and they stop fighting I remember I shot a couple of years back in Samara during the daytime it was safe but at night time it wasn't in the daytime they would let the Zawar come to visit Samara but as soon as it's coming towards Maghrib they'll tell you to get out move move move move you need to leave exactly so you have to make sure you meet that condition you find a safe place and you pray your Salah because your life is important in the sight of Allah that leave the worship now find a safe place and then pray so it's important that you keep your life as a priority and safe and then you can do and perform the worship unless it's the time is let's say you have only a few minutes and you pray in a condition that you must perform the prayer in any condition because the hadith says that the prayers cannot be ignored and neglected at any time or cost you have to perform it in any time or in any way sitting laying down in any how you have to pray and shouldn't be قضاء so that's important so the next point Shekma so you're saying that this was this point specifically to do with a roof or also any building which is not stable so what if the floor wasn't 100% exactly the same applies anything that brings harm to yourself you have to be in immunity and safety from the harm so you shouldn't pray a place let's say the ground is very unstable you might fall down there's a let's say an underground let's say for example you might fall inside that tunnel anything that brings harm you should avoid it and do not perform that act of prayer until you find a safe place with regard to the fifth criteria again there are places which are also haram to pray for example the place that you want to stand and pray or sit and pray so your feet both feet are on that place it shouldn't be on as an example the name of Allah on that mat or carpet sometimes you see there are inscribed let's say mats by the name of Allah and they are usually used to be on the wall for example hang on the wall but let's say if you want to use it as a prayer mat you have to make sure you cannot step on the word of Allah that's haram again you can't pray while you're both feet on the word of Allah SWT that's not allowed with regard to the sixth criteria again you have to make sure that when you want to pray in a certain location you have to make sure that you can pray fully and hold the conditions of a prayer so for example I can do qiyam stand still and upright recour sojuud fully without any issue but if I was in a location let's say it was an underground loft for example and I pray in that loft and the ceiling was so low that I cannot do recour properly so I have to be upright while I'm standing to pray so I have to pray in the state of let's say sojuud I'm not allowed to pray in this place I have to leave this place and find a place where I can easily and freely do the recour sojuud and I'll pray a place where you're not restricted from standing unfortunately I think I've definitely visited the prisons where Imam where he was deep in the tunnel in the underground prison where he couldn't even if you go then visit it he couldn't even stand qiyam properly it's so small the prison was so small and tight unfortunately but that was a must he had no choice but you're saying that if you have an alternative you should choose to pray somewhere you should delay your prayer and you go out and you find a safe place to pray with full conditions of salah even if it's a bit late but not to reach this stage of qaba as important some people might think that we can't pray in the airplane because we can't do the salah properly then we're going to sit on the chair and then everything and even the sun sets you must pray in anyhow even if you can't stand and pray you sit in your chair and you pray you must do this worship and you've given to Allah an obligatory act of worship شكرا is there any places where it's actually haram to pray there like you're not allowed yes the seventh criteria about this condition and that is to do with performing the salah in line with the head of the معصوم grave so let's say the معصوم's head in this location and you pray in line with the Imam's head where the grave is exactly where the head is your subdued matches level it has to be back just behind the Imam's body and the location of the head of the Imam so if my subdued is by the chin or by the neck that's okay or should it be below his feet you see when you stand to pray towards the قبلة and you have the ضريح on your left for example so the Imam's head would be near to you because when the Imam's head would be towards towards the قبلة so when you pray you have to make sure you're way back from the Imam's body and the head so you pray and the Imam's body is in the front all the other side it shouldn't be in line with the one who is performing the prayer in the salah that's important is it okay to go a little bit in front or it should always stay behind you see the massage says that you're not allowed to the head of the Imam or in line with the grave of the Imam معصوم عليه السلام so we have to make sure we stay away from praying in line with Imam's head of course the salah would not be accepted now with regard to the معصوم عليه السلام with regard to the Prophet of Islam صلى الله عليه واله and his holy family we shouldn't pray ahead or in line with their body the grave where they're buried and that's the say it said according to the obligatory precaution احتيات وجوبي so that's important that we stay away from praying ahead of the Imam's body or even in line with regard to the 8th criteria it is important that the place that we choose to pray to be clean and clear so praying in a place on a prayer mat on the rug or the carpet or even the tiles for example the ceramic for example if there are moisture نجاسة if there's najase on the floor on the carpet and it's the najase transfers from one body to another then you cannot pray you can't pray on the place in which there is najase so you have to make sure that you choose a place where it's طاهر and you pray of course with regard to the Sujood it's important that the place of Sujood the turba to be or the clay you pray on it's important you cannot pray on a turba or clay even if it was a dry نجاسة you have to make sure it's طاهر so you can put your forehead on that turba and prostrate now the ninth criteria with regard to the place of the مصلي you have to make sure that when you do the Sujood and prostration it shouldn't be higher or lower than your knees in other words there's a specific measurement they would say you place the four fingers on the floor and you put the turba or the clay to pray on and it shouldn't actually exceed the four fingers the height so you shouldn't pray let's say where the position of the turba is higher than your knees more than four fingers and likewise to go lower you cannot pray in a let's say where it's lower than four fingers lower than your knees for example again you measure with your own fingers so what if you're at a position where the floor is slightly tilted so my Sujood would either be a little higher than my knees or my Sujood would be a little lower because the floor is at a slot does that rule still apply with the four fingers? of course you have to apply the four fingers or lower you have to make sure it's not lower than your knees four fingers otherwise you have to choose a place a flat place that you can pray so that's important to be on mind so we discussed like nine criteria of the place of worship we discussed a place that's not usurped we discussed a place where you know comes paid on it in order to purchase it we talked about a place that's not moving we talked about a place where you can't be attacked also a place where the roof is stable and not weak which other ones did we discuss here? yes I'll just give a summary of the nine criteria just a quick summary basically we spoke about the first criteria if you are allowed to pray in a usurped place which is not of course you have to make sure you find a place where you have the permission to pray from the owners and that's important and if it's let's say you you didn't know about it because you never knew about this place which was usurped also we spoke about the second criteria which was about being stationary that's important that when we go to using transport all types of transport trains, buses, ships, boats aeroplanes we have to make sure that we pray in that place if we are in need of praying in those places because these locations of prayer let's say the bus or the train are moving places we can't pray in a moving place unless we have to there's a time there's nearing the sunrise or sunset then we have to pray there's no way but otherwise if we are not compelled to pray in those places we have to wait till we reach our distinction and we pray the salah with more stability and stationary on the third one we spoke that we have to complete the salah in the place so for example we're not allowed to pray in places in which there are for example crowds coming in and out let's say there's a train sorry train station much of the haram where people are praying they're all coming out now there's no rain there's no crowds also on the fourth one we also mentioned about praying in a place which are not haram in other words if I pray in a place let's say a building that's almost going to collapse or a place in which let's say inside the cage of a lion that I might be attacked let's say I work there I feed them let's say and I want to pray there am I allowed well there's danger with this regard then you can't pray there and so forth you have to make sure you pray in a place where you are in safety there's no harm on your body that's important and the fifth one we also spoke about again standing or sitting is not haram for that person for example when you sit or when you stand upright to do the salah you make sure that there's no writings of Allah on that praying mat and you stand on it and you pray on that location the sixth one we spoke about that you have to make sure that when you pray in a place you can fully perform the ruku and sujud with no restrictions exactly you have to make sure there's enough height and width to perform the salah in terms of the ruku even to be upright you have to make sure that you don't bend down and you pray because the ceiling is too low the fifth one also we mentioned about the one who prays in the haram of the معصوم in the holy shrines make sure that you do not pray ahead of the imams grave or in line with the imams or in line with the imams body as well so you pray way back from the imams grave that's important especially for the prophet and his pure family the 14 معصوم the eighth criteria also we spoke about you have to make sure that the place you pray is not in other words it's not moisture that transfers to your hands to your knees to your forehead for example also the tourba important that the tourba must be also on it even if it's dry you shouldn't pray on tourba where it's just even it's dried that's important we also spoke about the ninth criteria which was about prostrating and doing the sujood on the tourba but it shouldn't be more than and higher than four joint fingers and we must mention that these criteria must be fulfilled but it is avoided exactly the say it says in some occasions it's obligate percussion that you have to avoid it that's important we keep the manners of the Salah insha'Allah thank you very much and thank you to all the viewers for joining us on eqam SOS insha'Allah you can prevent yourself from falling into any of the criteria to make sure that your Salah is Sahih see you next time السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
