Hadith of Aisha (رضي الله عنها):
Aisha (رضي الله عنها) narrated:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) used to remember Allah at all times."
(Reported by all major Hadith scholars except Al-Bukhari and An-Nasa’i. Sahih Muslim: 373)
Key Points & Rulings:
① The remembrance (Dhikr) of Allah is essential and should be done in all permissible conditions.
- The Prophet (ﷺ) would engage in Dhikr at all appropriate times.
- However, certain situations are exceptions, such as while relieving oneself or being in a state of complete nakedness.
- If a person is in a state of intoxication, Dhikr should also be avoided.
② Reciting supplications (Dua) and engaging in Adhkar without Wudu is permissible.
- If one wishes to make Dhikr, recite general supplications, or ask for Allah’s help while in a state of minor impurity, there is no harm in doing so.
