4:43
يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لَا
تَقْرَبُوا
الصَّلَاةَ
وَأَنتُمْ
سُكَارَى
حَتَّى
تَعْلَمُوا
مَا
تَقُولُونَ
وَلَا
جُنُبًا
إِلَّا
عَابِرِي
سَبِيلٍ
حَتَّى
تَغْتَسِلُوا
وَإِن
كُنتُم
مَّرْضَى
أَوْ
عَلَى
سَفَرٍ
أَوْ
جَاءَ
أَحَدٌ
مِّنكُم
مِّنَ
الْغَائِطِ
أَوْ
لَامَسْتُمُ
النِّسَاءَ
فَلَمْ
تَجِدُوا
مَاءً
فَتَيَمَّمُوا
صَعِيدًا
طَيِّبًا
فَامْسَحُوا
بِوُجُوهِكُمْ
وَأَيْدِيكُمْ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
كَانَ
عَفُوًّا
غَفُورًا

Believers, do not pray when you are drunk, but, instead, wait until you can understand what you say. Also, do not pray when you have experienced a seminal discharge until after you have taken a bath, unless you are on a journey. If, while sick or on a journey, you can find no water after having defecated or after having had carnal relations, perform tayammum by touching your palms on the pure earth and wipe the (upper part of) your face and the backs of your hands. God is Gracious and All-forgiving.
