THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Question:

The hadeeth: ((there is no prayer when food is present, and nor when one holds back the two filths)) (Reported by Muslim) does the one who does this render his prayer invalid?

 

Answer:

This is in accordance to his state, such that if the end result is that his condition becomes whereby he does not realize what he is saying due to the severity of holding back the two filths – then his prayer is not correct, and if he can withhold it without it being a nuisance – then his prayer is correct whilst it is disliked.
