What is the meaning of excessive listening that invalidates prayer, and does hearing and understanding a sound without concentration and primary engagement in prayer affect the prayer?
Merely hearing does not invalidate the prayer because a person has no control over it. However, listening, if frequent, invalidates the prayer according to the Malikis. Its frequency is determined by custom; if it is infrequent, the prayer is not invalidated by it.
