Swearing in one's mind in Salaah
Question
If your swear in your mind in salaah, does it break the salaah?
Answer
One is required to perform Salaah with complete concentration and devotion. Intentionally thinking of worldly engagements during Salaah is against the spirit of Salaah. Though one's Salaah will not be invalidated through such thoughts, however the essence and reward of the Salaah will be lost.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
