CONDITIONS OF SALAAT
1. Acceptance of Islamic Faith - disbelievers are not
required to perform Salaat until they believe in Allah (SWT)
and bear witness that there is no God but Allah and bear
witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His
Messenger.
2. An-Niyyah - In Arabic, it means intention by heart to
perform the particular prayer.
3. Cleanliness - This includes cleanliness of the body, the
worn cloth and the place where the prayer is performed.
4. Purification - this refers to the performance of Wudhu
(or Ghusl as the case maybe) prior to undertaking the
prayer.
5. Clothes and concealing of the ‘Awrah - For man, it is
essential that he be covered at least from navel to the knees
all around, while in the case of a woman, her body should
be totally covered except for the face and hands up to the
wrists. But if there are men around, she should cover her
body totally including the face and wrists.
6. Facing the “Qiblah” - A person who prays, must face
towards the direction of the sacred mosque in Makkah. If a
person is in a strange place, and is not in a position to find
out the right direction of Qiblah, he/she can make the best
guess of the Qiblah and perform the prayer.
7. Timing - prayers are to be observed at the prescribed
times.
