Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

The Ruling on abandoning Prayer in Congregation with the excuse of Soiled

Clothing

Question:

I have a colleague in work (a car workshop) whom I entreat to pray, but he refuses, claiming that his clothes are not clean and it is difficult for him to change them and that he will pray when he returns to his house. What is the ruling on this action of his?
Answer:

It is incumbent upon this colleague whom you have mentioned to pray with the congregation and it is not permissible to delay the prayer until he returns to his house, according to the words of the Prophet: Whoever heard the call (to prayer) and did not answer it, there is no prayer for him, unless he has an excuse. [1] An excuse would be illness, or the like. As for dirty clothes, that is not an excuse. However, if there is some impure filth on them, he must clean them or change into clean clothes. We ask Allaahýs Guidance for all of us.
