The Details of the Question
If our prayer does not prevent us from shameful and unjust deeds, does it mean that the prayers we perform will not be accepted? Submitted by on Sun, 03/05/2015 - 22:58
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
When a person performs the fards of the prayer, it will be valid and his/her mistakes/sins do not invalidate his/her prayer.
This one and similar expressions in the Qur'an and hadiths are used in order to define the perfect prayer. That is, if a person performs his/her prayers perfectly, it will prevent him/her from mischief.
As the perfectness of the prayer lessens, its protection from evilness weakens.
