Things That Invalidate Solat(Prayer) by obafemee80(m): 7:34pm On May 11, 2017
Primary things that invalidate prayer are as follows:

1) To speak while performing a prayer.

To speak in prayer whether by mistake, deliberately or sleepily, whether a little or much, invalidates prayer.

2) To eat or drink something while performing a prayer.

3) To laugh loudly enough to hear oneself. 

If a person laughs loudly enough for the people next to him to hear him, both his prayer and wudu are invalidated. Smiling does not invalidate prayer or wudu.   


4) To turn one's chest from the direction of the qiblah.   

5) To greet someone or to reply the greeting of someone while performing a prayer whether deliberately or by mistake.

6) To be busy with something that causes the onlookers to think definitely that he is not performing a prayer; for instance, combing his hair.

7) To weep loudly by remembering a worldly affair or to moan or groan due to some pain or trouble. However, if a person weeps due to remembering Paradise and Hell, it does not invalidate prayer since it occurs due to awe.

8 ) To try to cough though one does not feel like coughing and to growl.

9) To blow a candle, lamp, e.t.c


10) To say, "yarhamukallah" (bless you) to a person who sneezes.

11) To read a verse of the Quran in order to reply somebody.

12) To say, "inna lillah" when one hears some bad news and "alhamdulillah" when he hears some good news.    

13) If a person who has made tayammum sees water while performing a prayer, his prayer is invalidated

14) If the sun rises while a person is performing a prayer, his prayer is invalidated.

According to some scholars, the prayer performed while the sun is rising is not invalidated but becomes a supererogatory prayer. If it is the fard of the morning prayer, it is regarded to have been missed and it needs to be performed again.

15) If the valid period of mash performed on khuffs ends while performing a prayer, that prayer is invalidated.

16) To change the meaning of a verse by reading it wrongly.

17) Women and men performing a prayer side by side.
Such a prayer is invalidated only if the woman and the man are following the same imam or the woman is following the man she is standing next to.


Therefore, women perform prayers in the back lines in the mosque; they do not stand in the same line or in front of men.
If a woman stands in front of or next to a man in a prayer, only the prayer of the man is invalidated. If the woman follows the man she stands next to in prayer, the prayers of both of them are invalidated.

If a woman and man are performing different prayers, their prayers are not invalidated if they pray in the same line or if the woman prays in front of the man.

18) To read the additional chapters or the verses by looking at mushaf (the Quran).

19) If a person following the imam does one rukn of the prayer before the imam, for instance, if he goes to ruku' before the imam or stands up from the ruku' before the imam, his prayer is invalidated.

20) If an illiterate or excused person leads the prayer.

21) If the wudu of a person is invalidated while performing a prayer.

22) To faint while performing a prayer.

23) The prayer of a man is not invalidated if his wife kisses or caresses him in prayer unless he feels Hot. However, the prayer of a woman is invalidated if her husband caresses her lustfully or kisses her lustfully or without lust.

24) The delusions and bad imaginations that come to one's heart involuntarily do not invalidate his prayer.

25) If a person scratches his body once or twice or in the same or different rak'ahs, his prayer is not invalidated. However, if he scratches himself three times on end in the same rak'ah, his prayer is invalidated.

26) The prayer of a person is not invalidated if somebody passes in front of him while he is praying. However, the person who passes in front of him commits a sin. The place where it is a sin to pass is between the feet of the person who is praying and the place of prostration in big mosques and open areas. It is makruh to pass in front of a person in small mosques if there is not a barrier like a column, man, etc in front of the person who is praying. In fact, it is sunnah for a person to put something (a sutrah) in front of him if there is a possibility of people passing in front of him.

* If the imam recites a verse wrongly or if he forgets the verse, it is permissible to remind him. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) skipped a word while reciting the chapter of al-Muminun in a prayer. After the prayer, he asked, "Was Ubayy not among you?" Ubayy bin Ka'b was the best one among the Companions in terms of memorizing and reciting the Quran. When Ubayy said he was there, the Messenger of Allah said, "You should have reminded me.
