- Actions that break the Salaah

1) Speaking nullifies the Salaah, meaning to speak in Salaah would break the Salaah whether it was done purposely or by mistake one half of a word or more.
2) Speech that breaks the Salaah is when the voice is loud enough so that you can hear it yourself even if it makes no sense.

3) If you greet someone even by mistake the Salaah will break whether you have only got to say 'Assalam' and have not had the chance to say 'Alaikum'.

4)  If you reply to someone by voice then the Salaah will break and if you make an indication by hand or head then this is Makrooh [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Alamgiri].

5)  If you sneeze in Salaah then do not say 'Alhamdulillah', if however, you do the Salaah will not break [Alamgiri].

6) If you say 'Alhamdulillah' in reply to hearing good news or when hearing bad news 'Inna Lillahe Wa inna Ilaihi Ra'ji'oon' or when you are shocked 'Subhanallah' or 'Allaho Akbar' then the Salaah will break, if the words are not said in reply to the news then the Salaah will not break.

7) When clearing the throat and two words are said such as 'Akh too' and there is not a real necessity then the Salaah will break. If there is a real need such as for a health reason or you needed to clear your throat because when praying the Qur'an you had difficulty, or you needed to inform the Imam of a mistake, or you needed to make someone aware that you were praying the Salaah then the Salaah will not break.

8) If the Muqtadee corrected someone except for his Imam by saying a verse of the Qur'an then the Salaah will break.

9) If the Imam took a correction off anyone except for his Muqtadees then the Salaah will break.

10) If someone due to pain or difficulty said 'aah' 'ooh' 'oof' 'tuf' or cried out loudly and a sound was heard then the Salaah will break. If someone cried and no sound was heard only tears dropped then the Salaah will not break [Alamgiri, Radd-ul-Mohtar]. If from an ill person the words 'aah' 'ooh' 'tuf' came out without his control then the Salaah will not break. In the same way the words that come out when sneezing, coughing, yawning which are without control does not break the Salaah [Durr-e-Mukhtar].

11) If when blowing, no noise is made then this is the same as breathing and the Salaah does not break but to do this on purpose is Makrooh, and if by blowing, two words are said such as 'oof' 'tuf' then the Salaah will break [Guniya].

11.a) If when praying the Qur'an you physically read it whilst in Salaah or read it off the Mehrab will break the Salaah. If you are praying the Qur'an off by heart and your view went on the Mehrab or somewhere where the Qur'an was written then the Salaah will not break [Durr-e-Mukhtar].

12)  If you perform Amal-e-Kasir and is not part of Salaah or done to correct the Salaah, then the Salaah will break. Amal-e-Qalil will not break the Salaah. Amar-e-Kasir is an act whereby if someone from far looked at the person praying Salaah, they would be certain that he is not in Salaah or they have a definite doubt that they are in Salaah and this would break the Salaah. Amal-e-Qalil is when a person from far has doubt whether he is in Salaah or not, then this would not break the Salaah.

13) If you wore a top or trousers or a 'Tehband' whilst in Salaah then the Salaah will break.

14) To eat or drink in Salaah will break the Salaah, whether it is large in quantity or small, whether it was eaten by mistake or deliberately upto the extent that if an item the size of a linseed was swallowed without even chewing it or a drop of water fell into the mouth and you swallowed it, then the Salaah will break.

15) Death, insanity, unconsciousness, all will break the Salaah. If you wake up before the time has passed then perform the Ada Salaah again, and if you wake up after the time of Salaah then perform Qadha, as long as it is within twenty-four hours meaning before the time of six Salaah has passed. If you regain consciousness or sanity after six Salaah has passed then the Qadha is not Wajib [Alamgiri, Durr-e-Mukhtar, Radd-ul-Mohtar].

16) If you broke your Wudhu deliberately or for some reason a bath became obligatory, then the Salaah will break.

17) If you missed an obligatory aspect of Salaah and did not perform it in that Salaah then the Salaah will break.

18) If you missed a condition of Salaah without cause, then the Salaah will break.

19) If after the last Qaidah you remembered that you had to perform a Sajda for that Salaah or a Sajda for Tilaawat and you performed that and then did not repeat the last Qaidah, then the Salaah will break.

20) If you performed an act whilst you were sleeping in Salaah and then you woke up again and did not perform that act again, then the Salaah will not count.

When can you kill a snake or scorpion whilst in Salaah

1) The Salaah will not break by killing a snake or scorpion as long as you do not have to move more than three steps or hit more than three strikes. If you have to move more than three steps or have to make more than three strikes then the Salaah will break.

2) You have the permission to kill a snake or scorpion whilst praying Salaah even if it breaks the Salaah.

3)  It is only a good thing to kill a snake or scorpion when it comes in front of you and you are afraid it might bite you. If you are sure it will not harm you then it is Makrooh [Alamgiri].

4)  By scratching three times in one act breaks the Salaah. Meaning if you scratch and then replace your hand, you scratch again and replace your hand and you scratch again and replace your hand then your Salaah will break. If you move your hand once and scratch many times then this would be regarded, as scratching just once and therefore the Salaah will not break [Alamgiri, Guniya].

5) Whilst in the Takbeers you mispronounced the words Allahu Akbar by saying Aallah or Aakbar or Akbaar, then in all these situations the Salaah will break. If you mispronounced Allahu Akbar in the Takbeer-e-Tahrima then the Salaah would not start [Durr-e-Mukhtar etc.]. Whilst praying the Qur'an you make such a mistake whereby the meaning would change then the Salaah will break.

6) If someone crosses in front of a Namazee then whether it be an animal or a person the Salaah does not break. However, the person crossing will have caused a big sin. If the person was aware of how much of a sin this is then he would wait a hundred years stood still rather than crossing, in fact he would rather be buried there than cross the Namazee.

7)  If a person crosses a Namazee in a field and leaves a space of three feet distance (From the place where he performs Sajda) then there is no harm, however, he cannot do this in a house or Mosque.

8) If there is an object in front of the Namazee then you can cross the Namazee with the object in between.

Definition of an object
1) An object is such an item that will cause an obstruction.

2) An object should be at least one arm's length in height and one finger in width and a maximum of three arm lengths in height [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Radd-ul-Mohtar].

3) It is better to put the object in line with the right eyebrow.

What should the object be made of
1) The object can be of a tree, human or animal [Guniya].

2)  The object for an Imam is sufficient for the Muqtadee, meaning if someone crossed a Muqtadee and not the Imam but an object was placed in front of the Imam then there is no harm [Radd-ul-Mohtar].

3)  If a Namazee wanted to stop someone crossing him then he should say 'Subhanallah' loudly or start praying the Qur'an loudly or put his hand out but he must be aware that he does not do it too many times otherwise it would end up being Amal-e-Kasir and therefore the Salaah will break [Durr-e- Mukhtar, Radd-ul-Mohtar].
