Do you have to be in the state of Wudhu to teach someone how to pray?
Question
when you are showing someone how to pray namaz do you need wudu,and is it neccessary to face the qibla?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is not necessary to be in the state of wuzu when teaching one how to perform salah. It is also not necessary to face the kaba. However, it is important to inform the person that wuzu and facing the Qiblah are prerequisites for the validity of salah.
And Allah knows best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
