Complete ablution before prayer. Prayer for ablution of Muslims. Full body wash

Ablution. Namaz. Performing a prayer. How to do namaz?

Many people and even those who were born Muslim do not know how start praying (perform prayer). Some can't start praying- something is bothering them. Some are afraid start praying because they believe that over time they will abandon this business. Only the Almighty knows the future, and these doubts are the tricks of Satan.
Leaving prayer- a grave sin, can lead a person into disbelief - the unbeliever will burn forever in hell.
Namaz is the second most important pillar of Islam, after Shagadadata(certificate- "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet").
Namaz is the duty of a Muslim.

And so let's get started ... Where to start performing prayers?

First of all, this is ablution before prayer. (Small ablution). We do everything in order.

Arabic is read from right to left.

Intention for ablution: Bismillagyi RahImani RahIim. I intend to perform obligatory ablution, for the sake of Allah Almighty, Allahu Akbar.

1. Then my hands, we read a prayer: اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذي جَعَلَ الْماءَ طَهُورًا
"Al-khIamdu lillagyi-llazi jagIalal-maa taguraa" - Praise be to Allah who made water cleansing.

2. face wash, we read the following: اَللّهُمَّ بَيِّضْ وَجْهي بِنُورِكَ يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهُ أَوْلِيائِكَ وَلا تُسَوِّدْ وَجْهي بِظُلُماتِكَ يَوْمَ تَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهُ أَعْدائِكَ
"Allagyumma bayyiz vajgyi binurika yavma tabyazzu vujugyu avliyaika wa la tusavvid vajgyi bizulyumatika yavma tasvaddu vujugyu gIdaika" - O Allah! Lighten my face with Your darkness on the day when the faces of Your favorites are illuminated, and do not blacken my face with Your darkness on the day when the faces of Your enemies are blackened.

3. Washing the right hand, to the forearm (from the tip of the fingers to just above the elbow). In doing so, we read the following: اَللّهُمَّ أَعْطِني كِتابي بِيَميني وَحاسِبْني حِسابًا يَسيرًا
"Allagyumma agItini kitabi biyamini wa hasibni hisaban yasira". - O Allah, offer me my records of earthly deeds on the Day of Judgment on the right side and reprimand me with a light report.

4. We wash left hand , to the forearm (from fingertip to just above elbow). In doing so, we read the following: اَللّهُمَّ لا تُعْطِني كِتابي بِشِمالي وَلا مِنْ وَراءِ ظَهْري
"Allagyumma la tugItIini kitabi bishimali wa la min warai zagri". - O Allah, do not offer me my notes on the left and behind.

5. We rub our heads (moistened with the palms of both hands, we draw from the forehead to the back of the head (as in shampoo ads) three times, each time with new water). Reading:
اَللّهُمَّ حَرِّمْ شَعْري وَبَشَري عَلَى النّارِ
"Allagumma hIarram shagIri wa bashari gIala-nnar". - O Allah, make my hair and skin forbidden to the fire of Hell.

6. Washing the right leg (I wash my legs with my left hand, although it’s a little uncomfortable, but always with my left). In doing so, we read: اَللّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْ قَدَمَيَّ عَلَى الصِّراطِ يَوْمَ تَزِلُّ فيهِ الْأَقْدامُ
"Allagumma sabbat qadamayya gIala-ssiratI and yavma tazillu figil-akdam". - O Allah, fix my feet on the bridge of Sirat on the day when they slide.

7. Washing the left leg (I also wash with my left hand). We read the same as when washing the right leg.

If you do not know prayers, then you can read suras or verses from the Koran. For example suras 112-114. One sura for each arm or leg and of course the face. When wetting the head, one can say Allahu Akbar (Allah is great) or Bismillagyi rahImani rahIim(in the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful)

After ablution, it is advisable to read duIa (raising the palms to the level of the face, turning the palms to the sky - I read all the arcs in this way). Reading: Prayer:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْني مِنَ التَّوّابينَ وَاجْعَلْني مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرينَ وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ عِبادِكَ الصّالِحينَ سُبْحانَكَ اللّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى آلِه وَصَحْبِه وَسَلَّمْ

"Ashgadu Halles illyaga illyallag vahIdagu A ball lyag wa ashgadu Anne Muhammadali gIabdugu va rasulyugu. Allagumma-dzhgIalni mine-ttavvabina vadzhgIalni minals-mutatIagirina, vadzhgIalni min gIibadika-c-salihIina, subhIanakallashgumma va bihIamdika, ashgadu Halles ilyaga illa anta, astagIfiruka va Atuba ilyaika, wa sallyallagu gala sayyidina Muhammadiv-va galya alighi wa sahbigyi wa sallam." - I AM I testify with my tongue, I acknowledge and believe with my heart that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, the One, Who has no partner, and I once again testify, acknowledge and believe with my heart that, verily, Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, make me of those who repent of their sins, and make me of those who keep cleanliness, and make me of Your pious servants who serve You well. You are pure from all shortcomings, praise be to You. I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except You. I ask Your forgiveness and I repent before You. And the blessing of Allah to our master Muhammad, his family and companions, peace and prosperity to them.

Namaz: Performing a prayer. How to do namaz?

After ablution, a Muslim can begin to pray. Exists five obligatory prayers which a Muslim is required to do every day.
Five obligatory prayers these are: 1. Morning, 2. Noon (dining) 3. Afternoon (afternoon), 4. Evening, 5. Night.
Morning prayer consists of 2 rak'ahs; Evening prayer consists of 3 rak'ahs; Noon, Afternoon and Night consist of 4 rak'ahs. What are rak'ahs we will describe below.

And so, let's start praying.

Get on the prayer mat (we will consider the rug as a place for prayer). We lay the rug so that you stand up and look at it. towards the Kaaba(Qibla). Any prayer is performed facing the Kaaba.

Making an intention(for example, for the evening prayer of 3 rak'ahs): Bismillagi RahImani RahIim. I intend to perform the obligatory evening prayer of three rak'ahs, for the sake of Allah, Allahu Akbar ( the moment we speak Allahu Akbar, raise your hands with open palms, slightly touching the lobes of your ears with your thumbs). Then we lower our palms to the area under the heart, first we put the left palm, and on top of it the right. And now you are already in prayer.

We make the first rak'ah.

1. In this position we read Sura Al-FatihIa:

1 بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيم
"Bismillagi RahImani RahIim"- in the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

2 الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِين
"AlkhIamdulillagi rabbil gIalyamin" - Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

3 الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيم
"Ar-RahImani-r-RahIim" - Merciful, Merciful.

4 مَـالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّين
"Maliki Yaumiddin" - Lord of the Day of Retribution.

5 إِيَّاك نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِين
"Iyyaka nagI will be wa iyyaka natagiin" - Only to You is our worship, only to You is our prayer for salvation.

6 اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ
"Igdina ssiratIal mustakim" - Lead us to the straight path.

7 صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّين
"SiratIal lyaziina angIamta gIalaygyim, gairil magzubi alyaygyim va lyazooalin"- The path of those to whom You sent down Your mercy, not those on whom Your anger fell, and not those who fell into error.

Amen! (Amen Rabb-al gIalamin).

2. After Surah Al-FatihIa, Pronounce alahu akbar and bend forward and put your hands on your knees (become the letter "G" -waist bow). We pronounce:
سبحان ربي العظيم
"SubhIana Rabbi-l-GIazim" - Impeccable is my Great Lord! 3 times.

3. We straighten up saying:
سمع الله لمن حمده
"SamigIa-Llagyu li-man hIamida" - May Allah hear the one who praised Him!

4. After that, saying Allahu Akbar let's go to the earth (judgment). First, put your palms on the mat (if health allows, if it doesn’t work out, then you can fall on your knees and only then put your palms on), then we touch the rest of the rug, these are: knees, face. In general, seven parts of the body should touch the mat: the face (forehead, nose), palms, knees, and the balls of your toes. The palms should be directed in the same direction as the one who is praying. (to the sideKaaba- necessarily), put them at shoulder level.
In this position we read:
سبحان ربي الأعلى
"Subhana Rabbi-l-Giala" - Impeccable is my Supreme Lord! 3 times.

5. Before tearing your forehead off the mat, you should say Allahu Akbar and then sit down. We sit down so that the buttocks rest on the heels. We put our palms on our knees. This moment is called "sitting between judgments" We freeze in this position for 2-3 seconds.

6. Having said Allahu Akbar, again put the palms on the mat and touch the face (forehead and nose) of the mat. Those. we do the same as in the fourth paragraph. After reading
"Subhana Rabbi-l-Giala"- 3 times, we say Allahu Akbar and we get up. And we end up in a situation like in point 1. One rakah completed!!!

Second rak'ah- everything is done the same as in the first one. But now, after point 6, we do not get up, but remain in the position "sitting". The palm of the left hand is also left on the knees, and the right palm is clenched into a fist, leaving the index finger straight (preferably semi-straight). In this position we read: AttachahIiyatu.

اَلتَّحِيّاتُ الْمُبارَكاتُ الصَّلَواتُ الطَّيِّباتُ لِلهِ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْنا وَعَلى عِبادِ اللهِ الصّالِحينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ الله،ِ اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَما صَلَّيْتَ عَلى إِبْراهيمَ وَعَلى آلِ إِبْراهيمَ، وَبارِكْ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَما بارَكْتَ عَلى إِبْراهيمَ وَعَلى آلِ إِبْراهيمَ، فِي الْعالَمينَ، إِنَّكَ حَميدٌ مَجيد

"Al-TahIiyyyatu-mubarakatu-ssalyavatu-ttIayyibatu lillyag. As-Salam gIalyayka ayyyuga-nnabiyyyu wa rahImatullagi wa barakatug. As-Salam gIalyayna wa gIalya gIibadillyagi-ssalihIin. Ashgadu Halles ilyaga illyallag wa ashgadu anna Muhammad-rrasulyullag. Allagumma Sally gIalya MuhIammad, wa gIala ali Muhammad, kama sallayta gIala Ibragim wa gIala ali Ibragim. - All greetings, blessings, prayers and good deeds belong to Allah. Prophet, peace be upon you, the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and the God-fearing, pious servants of Allah. I testify with my tongue, acknowledge and believe with my heart that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, and I once again testify, acknowledge and believe with my heart that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
O Allah! Grant the Prophet Muhammad and his family more honor and greatness, just as You gave honor and greatness to the Prophet Ibrahim and his family. O Allah! Give more blessings to the Prophet Muhammad and his family, just as you gave blessings to the Prophet Ibrahim and his family - in all the worlds. Verily, You are the Praised One and we praise You.

In this case, salavat is given: "As-Salat al-Ibrahimiya"(because we still can’t find the salavat we need)

When you read Shaghadat(evidence) in its first part ( Ashgadu alla ilyagya illallag) we tear off the index finger from the knee by 3-4 centimeters, in the second ( wa ashgadu anna Muhammad-rrasulullagh) lower to a level of 1-2 cm. Do not lower your finger and do not pull, (this is important!). We pronounce Allahu akbar and get up, as in paragraph 1 - two rak'ahs are done.

Doing one more rak'ah and read again AttachahIiyatu to finish the prayer. this is the last third rak'ah, turn your head to the right and say: "As-salamu gIalaykum wa RahImatul-lag", then turn left and say the same thing.

So you performed the Evening three rak'ah prayers.

This prayer performed according to the Shafi'i mazgab.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that this is the easiest way to perform namaz for beginners. Over time, when you become more knowledgeable, you can add short surahs and verses from the Koran to prayer, read duIa, etc.
Namaz is performed only in Arabic.

If you notice mistakes, please correct me, I am not an Alim and I can make a mistake. If there is a text of Attukhiyatu in Arabic and a transcription, please show me.

Allah Almighty has said in the Holy Quran:

يأيّها الّذين آمنوا إذا قمتم إلى الصّلاة فاغسلوا وجوهكم و أيديكم إلى المرافق و امسحوا برءوسكم و أرجلكم إلى الكعبين

Meaning: “O you who believe, when you want to stand up for prayer, being without ablution, wash your faces and hands up to the elbows (inclusive), wipe your heads (i.e. part) and wash your feet up to the ankles (inclusive)”.

Know that partial body ablution (university) also has certain conditions (shruty) and includes mandatory (lasso) and desired ( Sunnah) actions. Mandatory items are those without which the ablution is invalid. Recommended - those in case of failure to perform ablution is valid, but for the observance of these actions a reward is given. Next, we will talk about the conditions of ablution, about the method of its implementation, listing the arcana and sunnahs.

Conditions for partial ablution

The conditions for partial body washing are:

1. Availability of clean and suitable for washing natural water.

2. Water should flow around all washable parts of the body.

3. The absence of impurities and such substances on the washable parts of the body that can change color, taste, smell pure water.

4. The absence of any insulator on the washable parts of the body(for example, varnish, glue, paint, etc.), preventing water from coming into contact with one or another part of the body being washed.

5. It is necessary to realize the obligation of this ablution.

6. It is necessary to know what acts of ablution are obligatory constituent parts (lasso), and which are desirable (sunnah).

In addition, patients who suffer from incontinence of urine, gases, feces, including women who are in a state of istikhazi(Istihaza - bleeding from the uterus of a woman during illness), while performing a partial ablution of the body, the following conditions must also be observed:

1. Wait for the time to pray.

2. Wash yourself.

3. Immediately after washing, men need to close the opening of the penis cotton swab. Cotton wool will absorb drops of secretions and prevent them from seeping out. Or it is necessary to wrap the penis with something that does not let moisture out if the discharge is plentiful. A woman should insert a cotton swab into the vagina if she is not fasting. If he fasts, then he should simply cover the genitals with something that does not let the discharge out.

4. Immediately after this, you should quickly perform ablution.

5. After ablution, you must immediately perform prayer.

The state of a person who is in such circumstances is called "permanent minor hadath". In the same way, for each obligatory prayer, he must renew his ablution. We should not forget that clothes, including underwear, must be clean.

The procedure for performing a partial ablution

1. The ablution starts with hand washing. Bo while washing them, it is recommended to say: "Au h u billahi mina-shchaytani-rrajim" and "Bismillahi-rrahmani-rrahim" and wash your hands, including your wrists, three times .

3. Necessary have the appropriate intention for obligatory ablution. When the water touches your face, make the intention with your heart: “I intend to perform the duties of ablution (or wuzu) for the sake of Allah”. However, it is desirable to pronounce the intention with the tongue first. (sunny).

When washing the face, as well as other parts of the body being washed, there are no obligatory prayers that must be read, so for starters, you can say "Shahada"

("SHAHADA"- the formula for accepting and witnessing Monotheism.

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ

“Ashhadu alla ilyaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammad-rrasulullah.”

(I testify with my tongue, acknowledge and believe with my heart that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, and once again I testify, acknowledge and believe with my heart that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him) ) .

Subsequently, it is desirable to learn additional special prayers.

4. Further, mandatory integral part ablution is washing the face (skin and hair) completely: from the roots of the hair on the head to the chin inclusive, from one ear to the other. A thick beard is enough to wash superficially (not to the roots). It is also recommended to wash your face three times.

5. Thereafter necessarily once, but three times is recommended wash hands, including elbows. Wash my right hand first and then my left.

6. Then necessarily once wipe part of the head with a hand dipped in water, but it is advisable to wipe it three times and completely.

8. Be sure to wash your feet including ankles. In this case, the water should pass between the toes. To do this, the little finger of the left hand from the bottom side is carried out between the toes from right to left. Then, in the same way, wash the left leg with the same left hand. It is recommended to wash them three times, starting with the right foot.

This completes the ablution.

Mandatory acts of partial ablution

Of the actions of partial body washing described above, six are obligatory:

1. Intention. It must be expressed with the heart at the same time as washing the face, but it is advisable to pronounce it out loud. It is also necessary to realize the obligation of this ablution. If you started washing your face before you made the intention, then it is imperative to repeat the washing along with the intention.

2. Full face wash, from the roots of the hair to the chin, from one ear to the other, including hair growing on the face: eyebrows, eyelashes, mustaches, hair on the temples and those that grow on the forehead. If a man has a thick beard (through which the skin is not visible), it is enough to wash it superficially.

3. Hand washing from fingertips to elbows inclusive.

4. Rubbing part of the head- skin or hair, provided that the hair being wiped was directly on the border of the head.

5. Foot washing including ankles.

6. Performing these obligatory ablutions strictly in the named sequence.

Circumstances that violate partial ablution

Partial washing of the body is violated by the following circumstances:

1. Discharge from the anterior or anus, whether it be ordinary discharge (urine, feces and air) or unusual (stones, worms, ointment and vadya), except for semen (which does not interfere with partial body washing). In this case, it is necessary to perform a full body ablution.

2. Touching the skin of a person of the opposite sex older than 6-7 years without isolation, except for close relatives (mahram) who, according to Shariah, cannot be married (mother, father, sister, brother, wife's mother or foster sister). To deliberately touch the skin of another woman (ajnabiya) except for a wife is a sin, and there is no difference between a young woman or an old woman who does not cause excitement. When touching a little girl up to six or seven years old, who does not cause arousal in a normal man, wudu is not disturbed. Wudu is not broken by touching the teeth, nails or hair of another woman, although it is a sin if done intentionally. Wudu is not disturbed by touching the skin of an outside woman through an insulator (for example, gloves).

3. Loss of sanity, consciousness and sleep. Whoever lost consciousness, mind, was in a state of severe intoxication or fell asleep, his ablution is violated. An exception is if a person was sleeping, clinging to the seat so tightly that it was impossible for intestinal gases to escape. Drowsiness does not break ablution. Drowsiness is a state in which a person hears the speech of others, but does not understand it well.

4. Direct contact with the palm of the hand to the human genitals or the ring of the anus, one's own or someone else's, regardless of age and gender. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever touches his genitals, let him perform ablution before performing prayer”.

The palm is the side of the hand that will not be visible if you connect the inside of the hands with the fingers apart. Touching the buttocks and non-human genitals does not invalidate ablution. Also, ablution is not broken by touching the genitals with the back of the hand or touching through an insulator.

The state of a person who is in one of these circumstances is called "small hadath".

Forbidden in case of violation of partial body washing, perform namaz, tawaf (walking around the Kaaba), touch the Koran (but you can read without touching it) and wear it.

Desirable actions of partial ablution

Desirable actions when performing a partial body ablution are:

1. sit facing the Kaaba;

2. say: "Isti'aza", "Shahada" and then "Basmalu" before starting ablution;

3. wash your hands before dipping them into a vessel of water that will be used for ablution (even if your hands are clean);

4. brush your teeth with a sivak (twigs and roots of the arak tree);

5. Rinse your mouth and nose and blow your nose. It is better to rinse them at the same time, with three handfuls of water, diligently if you do not fast;

6. wash your face beyond its borders;

7. wash hands and feet above the mandatory limits (i.e. hands to the shoulders and legs to the knees);

8. wipe completely the hair on the head. To do this, it is advisable to attach the thumbs to the temples, and the index fingers to the forehead, and wipe the hair with them to the back of the head and back.

9. Wipe your ears inside and out. This is done as follows: the index fingers are placed in the ear holes and rotated several times, the outer part, i.e. the back of the ear, is wiped with the thumbs, after which it is advisable to slightly press the ears with wet palms. It is advisable to wipe them three times, each time renewing the water;

10. rub between fingers and toes;

11. wash a thick beard to the roots of the hair;

12. start from the right side (for example, if you wash your hands, then wash the right first, then the left);

13. rinse each washable part three times;

14. wash with wipe;

15. wash the next organ before the previous one dries;

16. do not waste water beyond measure;

17. drink some of the water left after washing;

18. after washing, sprinkle some water below the waist;

The ablution of one who does not perform the sunnah, limiting himself to obligatory actions, is accepted, but he misses out on many rewards. It is also desirable that the intention be preserved until the completion of ablution.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever performed ablution as commanded and performed prayer as commanded, minor sins committed (during the time between two prayers) are forgiven him.”

Undesirable actions of partial ablution

Unwanted activities (karaha) when performing ablution are:

1. washing parts of the body more or less three times;

2. washing at the beginning of the left parts of the body, and then the right ones (for example, first wash the left hand, and then the right);

3. shaking water from body parts;

4. wiping the washed parts of the body with a towel unnecessarily;

5. so that another person pours water during ablution, if this is not necessary;

6. performing ablution with water strongly heated in the sun in a copper vessel (in hot countries);

7. conducting extraneous conversations during ablution;

8. performing ablution in a dirty place (for example, in a toilet), where dirty splashes can get on the body and clothes;

9. deep rinsing of the mouth and nose during fasting, in which water can get inside;

10. It is undesirable for a fasting person to use a sivak after midday prayer;

11. Excessive consumption of water (i.e. more or less than 1 liter for a partial ablution).

Prayers that are recommended to be read when performing a partial ablution

When washing every part of the body it is advisable to read the shahada in the following form:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

“Ashhadu alla ilyaha illallahu wahdahu la shara lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu.”

In addition, special prayers are read during ablution (the shahada is read at the first washing of the organs, washing for the second and third time - the prayers below are read).

Washing the hands at the very beginning of ablution, after "Isti'az" and "Basmala" they read:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذي جَعَلَ الْماءَ طَهُورًا

"Al-hamdu lillahi-llah h and ja'alal-maa tahura ”(Praise be to Allah, who made the water cleansing).

اَللّهُمَّ بَيِّضْ وَجْهي بِنُورِكَ يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهُ أَوْلِيائِكَ وَلا تُسَوِّدْ وَجْهي بِظُلُماتِكَ يَوْمَ تَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهُ أَعْدائِكَ

“Allahumma bayyiz wajhi binurika yavma tabyazzu wujuhu avliyaika wa la tusavvid wajhi bizulyumatika yavma taswaddu wujuhu a‘daika”.

(O Allah! Lighten my face with Your nur on the day when the faces of Your favorites are illuminated, and do not blacken my face with Your darkness on the day when the faces of Your enemies are blackened).

اَللّهُمَّ أَعْطِني كِتابي بِيَميني وَحاسِبْني حِسابًا يَسيرًا

"Allahumma a'tini kitabi biyamini wa hasibni hisaban yasira".

(O Allah, offer me my records of earthly deeds on the Day of Judgment on the right side and reprimand me with an easy report).

اَللّهُمَّ لا تُعْطِني كِتابي بِشِمالي وَلا مِنْ وَراءِ ظَهْري

"Allahumma la tu'tini kitabi bishimali wa la min warai zahri."

(O Allah, do not offer me my notes on the left and behind).

Performing a head rub (mashu), read:

اَللّهُمَّ حَرِّمْ شَعْري وَبَشَري عَلَى النّارِ

"Allahumma harrim sha'ri wa bashari 'ala-nnar".

(O Allah, make my hair and skin forbidden to the fire of Hell).

When washing each of the feet read:

اَللّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْ قَدَمَيَّ عَلَى الصِّراطِ يَوْمَ تَزِلُّ فيهِ الْأَقْدامُ

"Allahumma With abbit kadamaya ‘ala-ssyrati yavma tazillu fihil-akdam.

(O Allah, fix my feet on the bridge of Sirat on the day when they slide).

After completing a partial(as well as complete) ablutions, stretching their hands forward and looking up at the sky, they read the following prayer:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْني مِنَ التَّوّابينَ وَاجْعَلْني مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرينَ وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ عِبادِكَ الصّالِحينَ سُبْحانَكَ اللّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لآ إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى آلِه وَصَحْبِه وَسَلَّمْ

“Ashhadu alla ilyaha illallah wahdahu la shara la lah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh. Allahumma-j'alni mina-ttavvabina waj'alni minal-mutatahhirina, waj'alni min 'ibadika-s-salikhina, subhanakallahumma wa bihamdika, ashhadu alla ilaha illa antha, astagfiruka wa atubu ilaika, wa sallallahu 'ala sayyidina Muhammadiv-vayidina ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam."

(I testify with my tongue, acknowledge and believe with my heart that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, the One, Who has no partner, and I once again testify, acknowledge and believe with my heart that, truly, Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.

O Allah, make me of those who repent of their sins, and make me of those who keep cleanliness, and make me of Your pious servants who serve You well. You are pure from all shortcomings, praise be to You. I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except You. I ask Your forgiveness and I repent before You. And the blessing of Allah to our master Muhammad, his family and companions, peace and prosperity to them).

How to do ablution before prayer?

Many new Muslims are concerned about the question of how ablution is done before performing prayer. This is a very important procedure that cannot be omitted, since prayerful standing before God is possible only in a state of ritual purity. Below we will talk about how this ablution is performed.

Types of ablution

In Islam, there are two types of ritual ablution: small and full. In the minor version, only the hands, mouth, and nose are washed, while the full version requires the washing of the entire body. The result of both procedures is purity, called in Arabic taharat.

Full ablution

This variant is called ghusl in Arabic. Below we will tell you how to do a full ablution, but first you need to say about the cases in which it is necessary. So, if we are talking about a woman, then she is prescribed to do ghusl after the end of the period of menstruation and postpartum bleeding. In addition, sexual intimacy is considered the reason for complete ablution. If we are talking about a man, then for him such a reason is also sexual contact and the fact of ejaculation in general. If a person has just converted to Islam or for some reason has not practiced namaz, then he is also ordered to perform a ghusl, since the likelihood that in a previous life he did not have such moments when the rules of Islam required a full ablution is close to zero.

Full Body Washing Rules

The rules of Sharia tell about how to do ablution before prayer. According to them, the nose, mouth and whole body should be washed. But, before doing ablution, you need to get rid of everything that can prevent the penetration of water. It can be wax, paraffin, cosmetics, paint, nail polish and more. During washing, it is especially necessary to wash the parts of the body into which water can hardly get. For example, auricles, navel, areas behind the ears, holes from earrings. The skin on the head should also be washed with water along with the hair. Regarding how to perform ablution on women with long braided hair, the rules of Islam explain that if they, when braided, do not prevent the penetration of water, then they can be left as they are. But if water cannot get on the scalp because of them, then the hair needs to be untangled. Another recommendation on how to do ablution for women concerns their female genitals. Their outer part also needs to be washed, preferably while squatting.

mouth rinse

As for rinsing the mouth, this procedure must be performed three times. At the same time, everything that prevents the penetration of water to the surface should be removed from the teeth and from the oral cavity, if possible. When asked how to properly perform ablution if there are fillings, dentures or crowns in the teeth, the rules of the ghusl answer that these things should not be touched. Also, you do not need to remove various devices, such as corrective plates and braces, which only a doctor can safely remove. For the time of bathing, it is necessary to get rid of only those things that are easily removed and easily inserted back. Regarding how to do ablution correctly, it must be said that certain sunnats and adabs are attached to this action, that is, some ritual actions that are generally not required. But if they are fulfilled, then the reward from Allah, as Muslims believe, will be increased. But since these are optional things, we will not touch on them in this article.

What is forbidden without full ablution other than prayer?

There are things that are forbidden for Muslims who have not performed a full ablution. In addition to actually praying, these include bowing to the ground while reading certain lines of the Koran and bowing to the ground out of gratitude to Allah. In addition, it is forbidden to touch the Koran or its individual parts printed in other books. While still in a state of impurity, it is forbidden to read the Quran, even if you do not touch it. It is allowed to read only individual words, the totality of which is less than one ayat, that is, a verse. This rule, however, has an exception. So, suras, which are prayers, are allowed to be read. Without a ritual full ablution, it is forbidden to go to the mosque and go around the Kaaba during the Hajj.

There is one subtlety - the state without ritual washing is classified into three levels. In one of them, it is allowed to fast Ramadan, while in others it is not. But this is another topic, and we will not touch on this issue.

Small ablution

Now let's talk about how to do a small ablution. First, it must be said that this method of washing is called wudu in Arabic. It is also important to note that it does not replace a full bath - ghusl.

When is wudu done?

In order to understand how to properly perform ablution before prayer in accordance with the rules of wudu, one must learn when it is necessary. Let's say you did a full bath, but then, before prayer, you visited the toilet. In this case, you should do a little washing. It is also necessary if you fall asleep or faint, as the state of unconsciousness leads to a partial loss of ritual purity. A voodoo ceremony is also required when a person has blood, mucus or pus. Similarly, the situation is with the situation when there was an attack of nausea, and the person vomited. Severe bleeding in the oral cavity (if there is more blood than saliva) is also considered a reason for passing a small ablution. Well, the situation of alcohol intoxication or other clouding of reason concludes this list.

When not to do wudu?

There are things in respect of which it is not entirely clear whether it is necessary to do ablution after them or not. And, probably, the most common question among them is expectoration. The rules of ritual cleanliness in Islam say that expectoration of mucus does not lead to the need to perform ablution. The same applies to cases where small parts of the flesh are separated from the body - hair, pieces of skin, and so on. But only if it didn't cause bleeding. Touching the genitals (it doesn’t matter if it’s your own or someone else’s) does not lead to the fact that repeated washing is required. Touching a person of the opposite sex, if he is not in the category of mahrams, is also not considered a reason to repeat wudu.

Voodoo procedure

Now let's talk directly about how to do ablution before prayer according to the order of wudu. In accordance with Sharia law, it includes four mandatory items - washing the face, hands, feet and nose.

To wash your face, you need to understand what is considered a face in Islam, that is, where its boundaries lie. So, if in width, then the border of the face will run from one earlobe to the other. And along the length - from the tip of the chin to the point from which hair growth begins. Sharia law also teaches how to wash hands: hands must be washed up to the elbows, including the last. Similarly, the legs are washed up to the ankle. On how to do ablution before prayer, if there is something on the surface of the skin that can prevent the penetration of water, the rules clearly say that such things must be removed. If the water does not fall on the entire area of the designated parts of the body, then ablution cannot be considered valid. Therefore, it is necessary to remove all paints, decorations, etc. However, henna drawings do not interfere with ablution, since it does not interfere with the penetration of water. After all parts of the body are washed, it is necessary to wash the head. How to do the washing of the head according to a small rank, again, the rules suggest. In fact, ablution would be simply wiping a quarter of the area of the head with a wet hand. But at the same time, you need to be careful, since rubbing the hair not on the head, but on the forehead, back of the head, or rubbing the hair twisted on the head, will not be considered valid.

It should also be noted that without a small ablution (unless, of course, you have just completed a full one), some ritual actions are prohibited. Their list is identical to those that are prohibited in the absence of a performed ghusl. There are also adabs and sunnats for small ablution, which we do not consider in this article. Another important point is that when performing wudu, you do not need to remove contact lenses from your eyes, as this is not required by Shariah.

Taharat - ablution before prayer

Taharat - certain ritual actions that a Muslim is obliged to perform before performing prayer. Taharat is the cleansing of a person from spiritual and physical impurity: there is an internal taharat, achieved through repentance and righteousness, and an external taharat, achieved in the following ways:

Full ablution (Gusul): performed after various kinds of defilements (after childbirth, after intimacy, at the end of menstruation in women), a serious illness, before Friday prayers, going to the mosque, fasting.
Small ablution (Wudu) is obligatory immediately before performing prayer. Like a full ablution, wudu requires clean water, free of impurities and odors.
Washing with sand and stone
Teeth cleaning
Washing after the departure of need
Shoe washing, clothes cleaning

A small ablution is performed in the following order:

Say the intention to perform a small ablution. To do this, say: "Bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim!".
Wash your hands up to the wrist three times.
Rinse your mouth 3 times.
Rinse the nose 3 times: draw water into the nose and clean it.
Wash your face 3 times with water.
From the limbs to the elbow, each 3 times.
Once, in the direction from the forehead to the back of the head, moisten the head.
Rinse ears with thumb and forefinger: The ears should be washed both inside and behind the auricle.
Wash the feet up to the ankles 3 times. Wash the right leg first. And then the left.

During ablution, excessive consumption of water, excessive splashing of it on the face is unacceptable, but saving it is not recommended.

During ablution, it is undesirable to talk with strangers.

Full ablution must be performed in the following order:

Wash your hands and places of the awrah (places subject to obligatory concealment).
Say out loud the intention to perform a full ablution.
Perform all the actions of a small ablution in order.
Wash the head and every part of the body three times.
Wash your feet.

During the ghusul, it is important not to be distracted and not to talk. Water should wash all parts of the body so that there is no dry place (navel, skin under the hair).

Both wudu and ghusul are obligatory for all Muslims.

How close is Judgment Day?

According to some assumptions, it will not come soon, because the last Prophet (s.a.v.) - the predecessor of the Day of Judgment, was born 1433 years ago. But for those who all their lives, beating their chests, insist that they are Muslims and at the same time did not bother, having believed, to stand up for prayer, the Day of Judgment can come at any time and have the most tragic consequences.

Prayer for ablution of Muslims

How to learn how to perform ablution and prayer correctly.

Tell me how to learn how to perform ablution and prayer correctly.

Peace to you and the mercy of the Almighty!

The procedure for performing a small ablution:

1. First of all, it is necessary to have the intention to perform ablution for the purpose of performing a prayer or simply for the sake of being in a state of ritual purity. At the same time, it is important to have a secret intention in the heart, but pronouncing the intention aloud is still desirable.

2. As in the performance of any other charitable deed, it is advisable for the believer to say “bismil-lyahi rrahmani rrahim” (“in the name of God, whose mercy is boundless and eternal”), thereby asking for God's blessing and help.

3. Wash your hands up to and including your wrists three times, remembering to rinse between your fingers. If there is a ring or ring, they should be removed or, moving slightly, try to wash the skin under them.

4. Rinse your mouth three times, drawing water with your right hand.

5. Rinse your nose three times, drawing water with your right hand and blowing your nose with your left.

6. Wash your face three times.

7. Wash your hands up to and including the elbow three times (first right, then left).

8. Wipe the hair of the head with wet hands (at least 1/4 of the hair).

9. After wash your hands and wipe the inside and outside of the ears; wipe the neck with the front (back) part of the hands.

10. Wash the feet three times up to and including the ankles, remembering to rinse between the toes, starting with the little toe of the right foot and ending with the little toe of the left. Wash the right foot first, then the left.

After or during ablution, a person can dry the washed parts of the body using a towel.

At the end, it is desirable to say the following words:

“Ashkhadu allaya ilyayahe illa llaahu wahdehu laya shariykya lyakh, wa ashkhadu anna muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuulyuh.

Allahumma-j'alnii minat-tavvaabiin, vej'alnii minel-mutatohhiriin.

Subhaanakyal-laahumma va bihamdik, ashhadu allaya ilyayahe illaya ente, astagfirukya va atuubu ilyayk.

Wa sally, allaahumma ‘alaya sayyidina muhammad wa ‘ala eeli muhammad.”

Translation: “I testify that there is no god but the One Lord, Who has no partners (He does not share His power with anyone). And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

O Allah! Count me among the penitent and extremely pure.

I praise You, O Lord, and thank You. I testify that there is no god but You. I ask You for forgiveness and I repent before You.

May God bless Muhammad and his family."

The order of the prayer:

(on the example of two rak'yaats of the Sunnah of the morning prayer)

Niyat (intention): "I intend to perform two rak'yats of the Sunnah of the morning prayer, doing this sincerely for the Almighty."

Then the men, raising their hands to the level of the ears so that the thumbs touch the lobes, and the women to the level of the shoulders, say “takbir”: “Allahu akbar” (“The Lord is above all”).

At the same time, it is advisable for men to separate their fingers, and for women to close them. After that, the men put their hands on the stomach just below the navel, putting the right hand on the left, wrapping the little finger and thumb of the right hand around the wrist of the left. Women lower their hands to their chests, placing the right hand on the left wrist.

The gaze of each person praying should be directed to the place where he will lower his face during the prostration (as-sajda).

Immediately after this, the du‘a “as-Sana” (“Praise of the Almighty”) is read to oneself:

“Subhaanakyal-laahumma va bihamdik, va tabaarakyasmuk, va ta‘alaya jadduk, va laya ilyahe gairuk”

“a‘uuzu bil-lyahi minash-shaitooni rrajiim, bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim” (to himself)

“I am moving away from the accursed Satan, approaching the Almighty, and I begin in the name of the Merciful Allah, whose mercy is boundless and eternal.”

Then Surah al-Fatiha is read:

“Al-hamdu lil-lyahi rabbil-‘alamimin.

Iyayakya na'du wa iyayakya nasta'iin.

Syraatol-lyaziyna an'amta ‘alaihim, gairil-magduubi ‘alaihim wa lad-doolliin. Aamiin

After the surah "al-Fatiha" any short surah is read, for example, the surah "al-Asr":

Wal-‘asr. Innal-inseene lyafii Khusr.

Illal-lyaziyne eemenuu wa ‘amilu ssoolikhaati va tavaasav bil-hakki va tavaasav bis-sabr.”

With the words "Allahu Akbar", we bow to the waist, pronouncing the words:

“Subhana Rabbiyal-Azim” (Glory to my Great Lord) - 3 times.

Then you need to straighten up with the words: “Samia-Llahu-estuary hamida” (May Allah hear the one who praised Him) and “Rabbana laka-l-hamdu” (Praise be to You, our Lord).

After that, it is necessary to say "Allahu Akbar" and bow to the earth. Staying in this position, you should say:

“Subhana Rabbiiya-l-Ala” (Glory to my Lord Almighty) 3 times, and then with the words “Allahu Akbar”, straighten up and sit down.

Then, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, make another prostration and say “Subhana Rabbi-l-Ala” at the same time - 3 times.

With the words "Allahu Akbar" we stand on the second rak'yaat.

This completes the first rak'ah. It is necessary to perform all these actions completely, carefully and without haste.

In the second rak'yaat, "as-Sana" and "a'uzu bil-lyakhi minash-shaytoni rrajim" are not read.

We read the surah al-Fatiha, and then a short surah, for example, al-Ihlyas:

“Bismil-lyayahi rrahmaani rrahim.

Kul huva llaahu ahad.

Lam yalid wa lam yulad.

Wa lam yakul-lyahu kufuvan ahad"

Then everything is done in the same way as when performing the first rak'ah.

When we rise from the second prostration of the second rak'yaat, then we sit on the left foot and read "tashahhud".

Putting your hands loosely on your hips, without closing your fingers:

“At-tahiyayatu lil-lyahi was-solawaatu wat-toyibaatu,

As-salayama ‘alaykya ayyuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakyatukh,

As-salayama ‘alayanaa wa ‘alaya ‘ibaadil-lyayahi ssoolihiin,

Ashkhadu allaya ilyayahe illa llaahu wa ashkhadu anna muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuuulukh.”

During the pronunciation of the words “la ilyakhe”, the index finger of the right hand should be raised up, and when the words “illa llaahu” - lowered. During the pronunciation of the words “illa llaahu”, the index finger of the right hand is raised up without additional movements (while the gaze of the prayer is drawn to this finger) and lowered.

After reading “tashahhud”, the prayer, without changing his position, says “salavat”:

“Allahumma solli ‘alaya sayidinaa muhammadin wa ‘alaya eeli sayidinaa muhammad,

Kama Sollyaita ‘alaya sayidinaa ibraahima wa ‘alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahim,

Wa baariq ‘alaya sayyidina muhammadin wa ‘alaya eeli sayyidina muhammad,

Kamaa baarakte ‘alaya sayidinaa ibraahiima wa ‘alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahiima fil-‘alamimin, innekya hamidun majiid.

After reading the “salavat”, it is advisable to turn to the Lord with a prayer (du‘a). The theologians of the Hanafi madhhab argue that in this case, only the form of prayer that is mentioned in the Holy Quran or in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can be used as a du‘a. Another part of Islamic theologians allows the use of any form of du'a. At the same time, the opinion of scholars is unanimous that the text of the du'a used in prayer should only be in Arabic.

After that, with the words of greeting “as-salayama ‘alaykum va rahmatul-laah” (“peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon you”), they turn their heads first to the right side, looking at the shoulder, and then, repeating the words of greeting, to the left. This concludes the two rak'yats of the Sunnah of the morning prayer.

"Astaghfirullaa, astagfirullaa, astagfirullaa."

2. Raising their hands to chest level, they say (to themselves):

“Allaahumma ente salayam wa minkya salayam, tabaarakte yaa zal-jalyali wal-ikraam. Allahumma a‘inni ‘ala zikrikya wa shukrikya wa husni ‘ibaadatik.

Then they lower their hands, running their palms over their faces.

You can get answers to these and other questions by coming to our prayer hall.

Ritual purity is one of the prerequisites for prayer. Without ablution, prayer is considered invalid. Every Muslim and Muslim woman should have information about these obligatory elements of ablution. There are two types - full and small ablution.

Complete ablution (ghusl)

Full ablution is called ghusl in another way. This is the process of pouring water over the entire surface of the body completely. A woman must perform a full bath after the cessation of menstruation and postpartum bleeding, as well as after intimacy. When accepting Islam, a full ablution is also performed.

How is a full ablution performed?

First, an intention (niyat) is performed, for example, with the following words: "I intend to make a full ablution for the pleasure of Allah Almighty."
Before undressing, it is necessary to say the words: "Bismillah" (With the name of Allah), because a naked person cannot say a prayer and talk.

First of all, you need to wash your hands.
Wash yourself, wash shameful places, remove everything impure from the body.
After that, first, a small ablution is performed, without washing only the feet (the order of the small ablution is described below).
Pour water over the body three times, starting from the head and moving to the right shoulder, then to the left, wash the whole body, last of all the legs.
If the hair is braided, a woman may not unravel it if nothing interferes with the access of water to the roots of the hair. Water should get to the roots of the hair, but not necessarily the hair.

A full ablution is considered valid if a person has rinsed his mouth, washed his nose and washed his whole body. More precisely, you need to perform 3 mandatory steps:

rinse your mouth three times;
rinse your nose three times;
wash the entire body.

These actions are enough to be in a state of complete ablution.

How is a small ablution performed?

A small ablution is another name for wudu.

The procedure for performing a small ablution:

Intention: "I intend to perform a small ablution for the pleasure of Allah Almighty."
The pronunciation of the word: "Bismillah" (With the name of Allah).
Washing the hands up to the wrists.
Rinse your mouth three times.
Washing the nose three times (drawing in water through the nose and blowing your nose).
Washing the face three times.
Washing hands up to the elbows, three times.
Rubbing the head, wetting only once the hands, wiping the ears, without wetting the hands and neck again with the back of the hand. You should wipe the inside of the ears with the index fingers, the outer side with the big ones (all this is done only once).
Washing feet three times. First, once, rinsing between the fingers.
Any discharge from the genitals and anus (feces, urine, gases, etc.), discharge of blood, pus from the body, vomiting, loss of consciousness, sleep spoil the small ablution (full ablution does not deteriorate).

If a person is not in a state of complete ablution, then a small ablution will be invalid. And after performing a full ablution, it is not required to take a small ablution again.

Today it seems to many that the traditions of another people are too difficult and meaningless. But it is not in vain that they say that judging another is a thankless task. For Muslims, daily prayer is not hard labor, but a mandatory item. Moreover, in addition to direct prayer, one has to undergo preparation for it, which is individual for men and women.

The fairer sex has a harder time, because a lady is not always clean before Allah. How is prayer performed for women?

What it is?

This is a special prayer in Islam, which is a strictly regulated action, since the number and time of prayers are determined, as well as the direction in which one must turn to the Almighty. Prayer for women should be preceded by a small ablution. That is, you need to wash your face, ears, neck, hands and feet. Many religious authorities believe that ablution is not considered complete if the lady has nail polish left. It needs to be erased. If there is no water, then it is permissible to bathe with sand, which is suitable for desert conditions. There is no such practice in Russia. After ablution, one should put on clothes in accordance with the requirements of Islam. It must be a full body suit that is not form-fitting and is not considered enticing.

At the same place, at the same time

Namaz for women can be performed at home, but men often go to the mosque. If the family lives in a city without a temple, then it is possible to pray at home, although the husband and wife usually pray separately. A woman can also visit a mosque, where there is a special room for religious rites. Regardless of the gender of the believer, prayer is performed five times a day. Namaz for women is different in the process itself.

You can not raise your hands up, unlike a man. The last words of "Allah Akbar!" the woman speaks with her elbows close to her body. And in general, she should be restrained in her movements. In the process, the hands should be folded on the chest, and not on the stomach, as men do. There is a peculiarity when making a bow to the ground, called "sajda". The woman completes the correct prayer by bringing her body as close to the ground as possible and sitting on her knees. By the way, in the text itself there are no differences from the male version, so only the movements are specific.

Allah and his servants

The Almighty could not place a greater burden on his slaves than they could bear, therefore Islam is considered a religion of relief. Some types of worship for girls are limited during the menstrual cycle. For example, ablution for women before prayer does not give a full result. Therefore, it is not necessary to make a prayer, and it does not require replenishment. You don't have to fast, but then you have to make up for it. There is no need to circumambulate the Kaaba during the Hajj, but other rites are allowed.

It is said that Aisha was talking about the journey with the Messenger of Allah when there was a conversation about the pilgrimage, and at the end of the walk she began to menstruate, which caused profuse tears. Then the Messenger of Allah was curious about the cause of tears. When he found out, he said that in this state you can do everything that pilgrims do, except for going around the Kaaba. During the period of menstruation, a woman should not have sexual intercourse, come to the mosque, touch the Koran and read its surahs.

Duties

Each woman keeps her own calendar and therefore knows the schedule of her cycle. Naturally, its duration is different for everyone, but, according to scientists, it lasts from a day to 15 days. Bleeding more than this period is considered an anomaly, therefore, if on the 16th day the discharge continues, you need to bathe and begin to perform your duties, since the nature of the bleeding is no longer considered menstrual.

If the discharge lasted less than a day, then they are not considered menstruation, and therefore it is necessary to compensate for the missed fast and prayer, but it is not necessary to perform a full ablution. If the bleeding is accompanied by pain, then it is not necessary to leave prayer. A woman should wash herself, insert a tampon, put on a pad and put on everything clean. By the way, ablution for women before prayer in the month of Ramadan excludes a tampon, as this is contrary to the rules of fasting.

Why can you postpone prayer?

Morning prayer for women can be postponed for a number of reasons, the first of which is the shelter of the awrat.

A weighty reason will be going to a mosque or waiting for a collective prayer. If blood came out before prayer, then this does not interfere with prayer, since there is no fault of the woman. It happens that a girl forgot to put tampons or postponed prayer for worldly reasons. In such cases, only farz prayers or sunnat prayers are performed. Chronic bleeding for a woman gives the right to one obligatory prayer after each bath. It is said that once Muaza asked Aisha about making up for missed fasts and prayers after menstruation. She replied that the Messenger of Allah ordered to compensate fasting, but he did not say this about prayers. And Said Mansur reported that a woman who cleared her menstruation during the afternoon prayer should perform lunch and afternoon prayers. The continuous discharge, which lasted 5 days, should end with a full ablution and a refund of prayers and fasts.

How to act during menstruation?

I wonder how to pray for a novice woman. It is necessary to pronounce Dhikr more often, turn to Allah with requests, surround yourself with pious sisters and read spiritual literature. It is allowed to read verses with the words of prayer when making a request. The Prophet's wife Aisha related that Muhammad spoke of the monthly defilement as a blessed purification. If on the first day of desecration a woman repents before the Almighty, then she will be included in the list of those liberated from hellfire. Those representatives of the weaker sex who do not follow the cycle and miss prayers are called absent-minded and predict difficulties for them on the Day of Judgment.

How to pray for women with manicure? Before bathing, you should not cut your nails, as there are words in the hadeeth that the removed nails and hair return on the Day of Judgment in a defiled state. Another interesting question is about a woman teaching the teachings of the Koran. According to some, she can work during menstruation, but her work is limited, but she can teach the alphabet.

Bathing

After the completion of menstruation, it is necessary to conduct ritual bathing, or the so-called ghusl. It cannot be postponed, and before the procedure, niyat should be expressed. Now you can start ablution with words addressed to Allah. First of all, the perineum is washed, then the head and the right side of the body are poured. Then the left side. Now wash the whole body again. Women mostly long hair and braids, and if the water does not go inside, then they must be untangled and washed. In Shariah, a mark is made in case water does not enter naturally curled hair.

According to etiquette

Before doing prayer, a woman needs to fulfill all her natural needs so as not to offend Allah with them. There is even a peculiar etiquette for these processes. So, you need to choose a secluded place, avoid contamination of the body and clothes, avoid mounts in the water. After that, you need to clean both passages with water or paper. A woman during ablution should not be in a state of poisoning, sleep or be unconscious. You can not eat camel meat, touch the genitals, cook food on fire, laugh or touch sewage.

The question of how to pray for a novice woman arises when she reaches the age of majority. In addition, the girl must be of sound mind, have the intention to perform prayer.
