Is the prayer invalidated if impurity is aligned with the body during prostration without physical contact?
Chapter on Praying with Impurity and Other Matters
Al-Mughni
Book of Prayer
Primary text
If impurity is positioned level with the worshipper's body during prostration such that nothing of the body or limbs contacts it, the validity of the prayer is not prevented. This is because the worshipper has not directly touched the impurity, resembling the situation where the impurity moves out of alignment with the worshipper.
