Ruling on one who begins prayer voluntarily while having blood on his garment and is unaware of it
What is the ruling on one who begins prayer voluntarily while having blood on his garment and is unaware of it?
Answer
If the blood is more than the amount of a dirham, he is not required to make up for it; because the initiation of prayer is not valid at all, as purification from impurity is a condition for the validity of prayer, and if it is missed, the initiation of prayer is not valid. See: Maraqi al-Falah, p. 208.
