Reperforming the Prayer When in Doubt
During the prayer, when I have doubt about it, I greet to the right and left, and I redo the prayer without waiting to complete the unit. Is that permissible? Also, during the prayer, I have a habit of always adjusting my prayer cover. Is my prayer valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for someone who doubts their prayer to repeat it, and it is permissible for them to rely on assumption or certainty. Adjusting the head covering, as long as it is not with excessive movement that invalidates the prayer, is allowed. However, if the action is frivolous, it is disliked in prayer. And God knows best.
