Invalidators of Prayer[/size]

Prayer is invalidated by:

1. Uttering even two letters or one meaningful letter unless one forgets and it is little;

2. Performing many moves, which according to some scholars are as many as what would last for the duration of one rak^ah. According to other scholars three consecutive moves invalidate the prayer. The first saying, however, has a stronger evidence;

3. Performing an excessive move;

4. Adding an extra integral which involves action;

5. Performing one move with the purpose of playing;

6. Eating and drinking except if one forgets and it is little;

7. Intending to interrupt prayer;

8. Making an intention to interrupt prayer contingent on the occurrence of an incident;

9. Hesitating about interrupting prayer;

10. The completion of an integral while the doubt persists about whether or not one established the intention to perform the prayer during the opening saying of Allahu akbar (taharrum) or doubting for a long time about this intention.
