Those who neglect this practice
and have a bad body odour are
not permitted to perform
salah
in
congregation.
Hair must be neatly combed and
nails must be clipped regularly.
Taharah
of the Home and
Surroundings
A Muslim home must be kept
Tahir
(clean) and tidy at all times.
No form of impurity should be
allowed into a Muslim home, for
example, wine or pork.
Dogs too should not be allowed
into our homes as, apart from
anything else, their saliva is
impure and they often soil the
rugs, floors and furniture.
They may be kept outside in spe-
cial kennels as guard dogs.
A Muslim should remove his
shoes before entering the home
as they too may be soiled.
