BEFORE %AL¬H<br />

Ensure that clothes are ^\hir (clean) and make wu}[’. Stand on a ^\hir<br />

place facing the Qiblah. Keep feet parallel with toes pointing towards<br />

the Qiblah and submit totally to All\h I. When you are sure that you<br />

have fulfilled all necessary conditions, commence %al\h. A detailed<br />

account <strong>of</strong> how to perform %al\h follows:<br />

Men: No garment, jubbah or trousers should be allowed to hang over<br />

the ankles. It is Makr[h Ta#r|m| to perform %al\h while any garment is<br />

hanging over the ankles out <strong>of</strong> pride. This means that the %al\h itself<br />

will be considered as fulfilled/valid, but there is very little reward and<br />

benefit in such a %al\h.<br />

Women: Perform %al\h in the same way as men unless specific<br />

instructions are mentioned. The one general rule is that women will<br />

make themselves more compact in %al\h than men.<br />

Ibn `Abb\s is reported to have been asked about the %al\h <strong>of</strong> women,<br />

to which he replied, "She collects and closes herself". Ibn Ab| Shaybah<br />
