Is it necessary to perform a prayer again if awrah places are opened and if wudu is broken in prayer?
When I finish prayer, I sometimes notice that my hair is uncovered or some part of my body bled. Do I have to perform the prayer again in such cases?
Dear Brother / Sister,
If less than one fourth of the organ that is regarded as awrah is opened, prayer is not invalidated. If more than one-fourth is opened, the prayer is invalidated.
If awrah place is opened in prayer and if it is covered immediately, the prayer is not invalidated. If it is covered after waiting as long as saying subhanallah three times, the prayer is invalidated.
The place that is opened must be covered using only one hand. The deeds that are done with two hands are regarded as amal kathir and they invalidate prayer.
If more than one-fourth of the organ that is regarded as awrah is opened in prayer, the prayer is invalidated; therefore, it becomes necessary to perform that prayer again.
If an organ of a person bleeds so much as to invalidate wudu, the prayer is invalidated and it becomes necessary to perform that prayer again.
