Is it permissible for a woman to

Q 13: When a woman travels by plane, her clothes may get soiled by her child. She cannot change them because her clothes are all packed. Should she offer Salah (Prayer) while her clothes are Najis (impure), or wait until she reaches her destination to change her clothes, given that she will not arrive except after the prescribed time of Salah is over?


A: She should offer Salah on time, even if her clothes are Najis, as she is excused due to an inability to wash or change them. She does not have to repeat Salah, as Allah (Glorified be He) says: So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When I command you to do a thing, do as much of it as you can; and when I forbid you to do a thing, abstain from it. (Part No. 7; Page No. 339)  (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
