Does contracting the marriage while in a state of ritual impurity (janabah) – having forgotten about it at the time of the عقد (aqd) and remembering it later – affect the validity of the contract? And what are the consequences if it is invalid?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The marriage contract is valid, and purity from major or minor ritual impurity is not a condition for its validity. Purity is a condition for some acts of worship, such as prayer, circumambulation (), and touching the Qur'an.
