Shadee Elmasry – Women, dogs, and riding beasts breaking prayer

Now think about if you have a little girl and she reads a hadith

well if a woman or a dog or a donkey pass by you, your prayer is

cut off, right? What is she going to think? But there's a context to

that hadith. There's an explanation for the Hadith. Okay,

the dog is because you're scared that there's a wild dog coming

right at you, right? Or that maybe he'll urinate on you or something.

Okay? So he breaks this a lot because you're scared now you're

wondering what is this dog gonna bite me or not? Or if your donkey

passes by meaning a donkey passes by meaning, like, my writing beast

is walking away. If you're in the masjid, and all of a sudden, out

of the window of the messenger, you see your car driving by while

your insula, your Salah, your focus is broken. Or if a woman a

beautiful woman passes by, or your wife is passing by without a job,

right? She may be distracted, okay to look. So you lose focus in your

prayer. You don't actually lose your prayer. We all know that.

None of that breaks the prayer.
