Ibn Khattab

Asalaamu alaikum, here's a muslim who has a profession as an under water diver, it's his work ... he can't leave his job undone...but he can't lose the Fajr....so he prayed underwater

SubhanAllah!!! ...Allah has given us the whole world a place worship, so we can perform our salah! But why do we make silly excuses and miss our prayers?
May Allaah Guide us ALL to SUCCESS IN THE AKHIRA. AMEEN.

that's a rather interesting way to pray.
I always wanted to pray on top of a snowy mountain, the bare expanse of its white cold beauty clearing my mind.
Someday in Jannah.....:rolleyes:
I want to pray in the desert somewhere. Maghrib salaat, when the moon is lighting up.

He doesn't have to say it out loud.
He doesn't have to say it out loud.
well that's getting off easy isn't it? :p
Seriously, I thought the salat had to be vocalized

I highly doubt that it has to be vocalized but i can't say for sure.
One thing i do know is that when you read salat without it being vocalized the angels can't hear you. Therefore they wouldn't be able to say "ameen" for you after surah al fateha or any other duas you make.
Surely allah can hear you and i strongly believe that is what counts the most :up:

Nah bro it doesnt have to be vocalised.

I HIGHLY doubt it's allowed to pray with such tight pants showing your 3awrah

Were you expecting him to pray with a throbe/salwar kameez underwater? :eek3:

Well, isn't fajr salaat supposed to be silent anyways?

certain salah u say out loud (As in audible) and others u say quietly

No, actually Fajr salaah is read in a audible voice when reading in congregation. The same goes for maghrib and Esha. Zuhr and Asr are read quietly.
But if i'm not mistaken the rules don't apply for a person reading on his/her own.

lol... thats an interesting question ,.. how do they perform wudu underwater :confused:
actually by vocalisation etc you HAVE to actually read it silently but like your lips SHOULD be moving and you should actually be "reading" and i have heard that you also need to make sure that you say it loud (in the sense that you can hear what you are saying which means it doesnt have to be loud like when you do jamaat but like whispering so you can hear it) otherwise your prayer is invalid..
AND i see loads of people who dont move their lips whilst praying.. May God give them the taufeeq of learning Prayers the right way
BTW what was the purpose of doing it under water? He could have just as easily come back (obv if there was no time then he should have done it before he went in the water!)

if you have absolutely no choice in the matter you can even pray naked. Though in the case of a diver who knows he'll have to pray underwater maybe he should see if theres some way to wrap something around his middle whilst praying, though I dont know enough about diving to know if this is possible or not.

yes but that is exception not a rule.. and like i said in my previous post he should either have done his prayer BEFORE he went, or after.. (if he didnt have enough time he could do it there and then repeat it after he comes back up!)
But actually I DONT think Islam allows you to pray it naked if people are there with you!
BTW: even though he is in water, he is wearing a water proof suit so no water has gone inside his body therefore wudoo = not valid (i am not saying he didnt have wudoo because he may have done it before he went in, but this in response to someone who said that he didnt have to do wudoo or something

Maybe he performed wudu before putting the suit on?
Imo, it's better to perform salaat incorrectly without wudu than to miss salaat alltogether because he's not able to perform wudu properly. And Allah (SWT) knows best.

NO!!! your salaat isnt valid if your wudu is incomplete!! how can you say that. thats why if water is not available you do tayamum (with sand) but you must do wudu one way or the other.. in Salaah you are talking to Allah and Allah requires you to be clean so if you are not clean how can you talk to Allah?

What if you're not able to perform wudu? I worked in a place where there was no sand available and the water was coming out black one day. I had to perform salaat without wudu because I didn't have any option.
Everything in Islam is about intention, and Allah (SWT) understands our situation.

jeeez people. Why the big issue out of this?
Take it for what it is. A man making salaah under water.
Why make an issue out of all the details, look at the positives instead of looking at the negatives.
Here's a guy, performing salaat (we'r not sure what salaah it is, fardh, sunnah, nafl) underwater.
Instead of complimenting him and appreciating his dedication to his Deen, some knitpick at him..

Knitpick? He's in the tightest clothing you could possibly wear, with a camera man in front of him (and whoever else who may be in water around him). Looks like nothing more than a photo-op.

you think he has a choice for the tight clothing he is wearing?

He doesn't have to pray underwater, this is all a show.
If you work as a cook, do you pray in the kitchen while cooking a burger? Or do you leave the kitchen for a few minutes :rolleyes:

Choice? Surely he isn't under water 24/7. His oxygen tank won't last long at all, he has to surface some time. He has to surface to eat, sleep, use the toilet... he has time to pray while appropriately dressed as well.
Would you say the same thing if it were a woman? Her hair would be covered, at least :rolleyes:

Everything in Islam is about intention, and Allah (SWT) understands our situation.
If the water was black but still drinkable (ie no change in taste) then it is still valid to do wudoo with it.. for water to be considered impure BOTH colour and taste HAVE to change..
I am not sure what you could have done but if i remember correctly you could have just touched the ground ie if there was concrete somewhere, you could have touched that and did tayamum..
Everything in ISLAM is not about intention. Most things are but there are some things that you have to be correctly done... for eg. If i intended to pray for Asr but when i did my niyyat i accidentally said zoher, will that namaz be valid? if i intented to pray but didnt pray would i still get reward?
