Doubt About Awrah Exposure in Salah

Question

Assalamualaikum . In my country , the temperature is very very high and so the fan is on the highest level because of this when one prays salah , the awrah can be seen , the leg part , the front flows , so if a person , thought if seeing in which area salah should be prayed so that most of awrah is not revealed , so the person choosed to pray in the middle , in the prayer he/she got doubts that you should , pray where you usually pray , as a little part because of fan was exposed in front , but the person asked if he/she is really a sure , it didn't happened there and though the legs reveal more in that area , after salah , when the person checked , he/she found , the front is not revealed in that place , but was not sure about the back , and so did sajdah but got multiple results , and stopped after his/her told that what are you doing . So should the salah be repeated in this case

Islamic Ruling & Answer

Verified

Walekumussalam,

If during prayer there is only a doubt or suspicion that the ‘awrah was exposed, and it is not certain that it actually was, then in such a case the prayer is valid and does not need to be repeated. The principle in Shariah is that an act of worship is not invalidated merely on the basis of doubt. Therefore, there is no need to repeat the prayer in this situation
