Kaza prayers
Mu' meneen Brothers
and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Are we allowed to
pray the farz in namaz after it is kaza? Is it important to have a bath before we
pray? Can we pray in the clothes we are wearing or is it required that we
change into fresh clothes.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from
questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in

Answer:
Kaza prayers
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His
forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and who-ever He allows to fall
astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no
idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Q-1: Are we
allowed to pray the farz in namaz after it is kaza?
Yes, we are allowed to pray the
fard prayers kada, if we have missed the praying of the fard prayer in its
appointed time. But to
regularly or intentionally miss any fard prayer and making it a habit to pray
kada is a sin.
Q-2: Is it
important to have a bath before we pray?
No, the pre-condition for
prayers is the ablution or wudu.
But if one has had sexual intercourse, then it is imperative and
obligatory to have a full bath or ghusl before prayer.
Q-3: Can we pray in the clothes we are wearing or is it required that we change into fresh clothes.
If the clothes that one is
wearing are clean, then one is allowed to pray in them. But if the clothes one is wearing
are impure, by being touched by urine, blood, etc., then one must change into
another clothing which are pure and clean to perform prayers.
And Allah Alone Knows Best, and
He is the Only Source of Strength.
May Allah guide you and us all
to the Straight Path of Islam.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
