688. What Are The Conditions Of The Floor Where We Pray?

By Asma Bint Shameem

Just make sure there’s no obvious najaasah on the floor when you pray such as saliva, urine, feces etc. 

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said:
“If a person were to touch an impurity which is wet, then he should wash what has touched his body from it due to the contamination found therein. As for if the impurity is *dry*, then he should not wash what has touched his body from it since there is no reason for contamination. ”
(al-Muntaqa of Fataawa al-Fawzaan 48/18)

But if there’s certainty that the dog had passed urine (or feces) or dribbled his saliva in a particular place or object and it’s *wet*, then avoid that place for praying. 

As long as you pray in an area that looks clean and no Najaasah can be identified, it is permissible to pray there. 

And Allaah knows best.
