Dought & Clear, - If someone loses his wudoo’ whilst praying and goes and does wudoo’, can he resume his prayer from where he left off or should he start all over again?.

If I lose my wudoo' during the prayer, should I complete the prayer?
Should I complete it from where Ileft off or start the prayer from the
beginning all over again? When should onesay the tasleem - is it after
the imam's first tasleem or his second?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The one who loses his wudoo' during the prayer, by passing wind or
otherwise, should go and do wudoo', then come back and start the
prayer from the beginning all over again, according to the more
correct of the two scholarly opinions. This is the view of the
Maalikis, Shaafa'is and Hanbalis, unlike the Hanafis and the older
view of the Shaafa'is.
This applies to the one who cannot help breaking his wudoo'. As for
the one who breaks his wudoo' deliberately, his prayer becomes invalid
according to scholarly consensus.
The evidence quoted by the majority concerning this issue is analogy
(qiyaas). They say, Because breaking wind and the like makes wudoo'
invalid, so it alsomakes the prayer invalid, as is also the case when
one breaks wudoo' deliberately.
The Hanafis quoted as evidence the hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah (may Allah be
pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever regurgitates, has a
nosebleed, vomits, or emits madhiy (prostatic fluid) should stop
praying, do wudoo', then resume his prayer, and whilst he is in that
situation he should not speak", but this is a da 'eef hadeeth. It was
narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1221. al-Busayri said in az-Zawaa'id: Its
isnaad includes Ismaa'eel ibn 'Ayyaash, who narrated from the Hijazis,
but his narration from them is da'eef (weak).
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in at-Talkhees al-Habeer,1/495: More than one
of the scholars criticized the report of Ismaa'eel ibn 'Ayyaash from
Ibn Jurayj and the report of Ismaa'eel from the Hijazis as da'eef. The
scholars of hadeeth among the companions of Ibn Jurayj differed with
Ibn Hajar and they narrated it from Ibn Jurayj, from his father, from
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in a mursal
report.

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:We have stated that our
view is the correct, new one, that it is not permissible to resume
(from where one left off); rather one has to start all over again.
This is the view of the Sahaabi al-Miswar ibn Makhramah (may Allah be
pleased with him). It was also the view of Maalik and others. This
isthe correct view from the madhhab of Ahmad.
Abu Haneefah, Ibn Abi Layla and al-Awzaa'i said: He may continue his
prayer from where he left off. This was narrated by Ibn az-Zabbaagh
and others from 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab, 'Ali and Ibn 'Umar (may Allah
be pleased with them). It was also narrated by al-Bayhaqi from 'Ali,
Salmaan al-Faarisi, Ibn 'Abbaas, Ibn 'Umar, Ibn al-Musayyab, Abu
Salamah ibn 'Abd ar-Rahmaan, 'Ata', Tawoos, Abu Idrees al-Khawlaani,
Sulaymaanibn Yazaar and others (may Allah be pleased with them). The
author mentioned in brief the evidence for both views,but the hadeeth
is da'eef. The Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them) differed
concerning this issue, so the matter may be resolved on the basis of
analogy. And Allah knows best.

Ash-Shaafa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) interpreted the reports
about some of the Sahaabah exiting the prayer because of nosebleed,
then going to do wudoo', then resuming the prayer from where they left
off as referring to washing away the blood, not wudoo' in the sense of
ablution for prayer.
And he (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Rather what is meant by
wudoo' here, in our opinion, is washing off blood and whatever elsehad
gotten onto the body, not wudoo' for prayer. It was narrated from Ibn
Mas'ood that he washed his hands after eating, then he wiped his face
with his wet hands and said: This is the wudoo' of one who has not
broken his wudoo'. This (usage of the word wudoo') is wellknown among
the Arabs,who use the word to refer to washing some part of the body,
not all the parts that should be washed in the case of wudoo' for
prayer.

Further evidence in support of the majority view is the report
narrated by Abu Dawood(205) from 'Ali ibn Talq (may Allah be pleased
with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) said: "If one of you breaks wind whilst praying,
let him leave and do wudoo', then repeat the prayer."
There is a difference of opinion as to the soundness of this hadeeth.
It was classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan and as hasan byothers.
In Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah there is a question about the
hadeeth, "Whoever breaks wind during the prayer, let him exit the
prayer. If that is during acongregational prayer, let him hold his
nose andleave, and do wudoo', then let him resume his prayer from
where he left off, so long as he does not speak."
They replied: This hadeeth was classed as da'eef by some of the
leading scholars of hadeeth. Hence what it indicates about the one who
breaks his wudoo' during the prayer exiting the prayer, then doing
wudoo' and coming back to complete what is left of his prayer, is not
correct.Rather breaking wudoo' during the prayer renders it invalid,
and after doing wudoo' the individual has to start the prayer all over
againfrom the beginning, as isindicated by the hadeeth of 'Ali ibn
Talq (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "If one of you breaks
wind whilst praying, let him leave and do wudoo', then repeat the
prayer." Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasaa'i and
Ibn Maajah; classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a person loses
his wudoo' whilst praying, by breaking wind or having a severe
nosebleed and so on, then his prayer is rendered invalid, according to
the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, because the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "If one of you breaks
wind whilst praying, let him leave and do wudoo', then repeat the
prayer." Narrated by Imam Ahmad and the authors of as-Sunan. Thiswas
also mentioned by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar in al-Buloogh.
With regard to the hadeeth which mentionsresuming the prayer from
where one left off, this is a da'eef hadeeth, as was also explained by
al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar in al-Buloogh.

Secondly:
It is preferable for the one who is praying behind an imam not to say
the tasleem after the prayer until the imam has finished the second
tasleem. See the answer to question no. 75977 .
