Is the statement of the jurists that purification from impurities is a condition for the validity of prayer when one is mindful and able, and a Sunnah, not an obligation, when one is incapable or forgetful, the well-known opinion in Maliki jurisprudence?
The jurists differed on the ruling regarding the removal of impurity for prayer: whether it is obligatory () or a . According to the view that it is obligatory, prayer is invalidated by impurity if done intentionally, and it must be repeated perpetually. If done forgetfully or due to inability, it must be repeated within the time limit. As for the view that it is a Sunnah, there is a disagreement between Al-Qurtubi and Ibn Rushd. Al-Qurtubi holds that one who prays with impurity must repeat the prayer only within the time limit, whether mindful or forgetful, capable or incapable. Whereas Ibn Rushd believes that one who intentionally and capably prays with impurity must repeat the prayer perpetually, while the incapable and the forgetful must repeat it within the time limit.
