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

O you who have faith! Do not approach prayer when you are intoxicated, [not] until you know what you are saying, nor [enter mosques] in the state of ritual impurity until you have washed yourselves, except while passing through. But if you are sick or on a journey, or any of you has come from the toilet, or you have touched women, and you cannot find water, then make your ablution on clean ground and wipe a part of your faces and your hands. Indeed Allah is all-excusing, all-forgiving.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.
