*AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah*
*Part 30: IF YOU SEE SNAKE OR SCORPION DURING SALAAT*
If ones mind wonders a little into worldly affairs his reward lessens but his Salaat is not invalidated.
Whoever pushes away someone about to pass in front of him or makes Sujood on the side of
his forehead or on a roll or two rolls of his turban there is nothing on him. There is likewise, no harm for involuntary vomiting or belching in Salaat.
The forgetfulness of the follower in Salaat is borne by the Imam except it be a case of omitting a Fard (obligatory) act.
If one following an Imam in Salaat forgets or dozes off or is pressed for time to make the Ruku’ in other than the first Rak’at and he hopes to catch up with the Imam before the latter
arises from the second Sajda, he should go to Ruku’ and then join the Imam. If however, he has no such hope of catching up with the Imam, he skips the Ruku’ and follows his Imam and then makes up an extra Rak’at to replace this one after the Imam’s Salaam.
If on the other hand, he forgets the Sujood or is pressed for time or dozes off until the Imam stands up for the next Rak’at, he should go to Sujood even if he desires to catch up with the Imam before the latter goes to Ruku’. Otherwise, he skips it and follows the Imam and makes up for this later with an additional Rak’at. When he has made up with the additional Rak’at, no Sujoods would be required of him unless he has doubts concerning the Ruku’ or Sujood.
Whoever is approached by a scorpion or snake (while in Salaat) and he kills it, there is nothing on him unless his action takes a long time or he turns away from the Qibla (in the process) in which case he breaks his Salaat.
Whoever is unsure whether he is in the Witr or the last Rak’at of Asshaf’i, should make it the last Rak’at of Asshaf’i and then do the Sujood after Salaam then the Witr. Whoever talks
between Asshaf’i and Al-Witr forgetfully has nothing on him. If however, he does so deliberately it is abhorrent but there is still nothing on him.
