#adkhaar

“When you go to your bed, recite Aayat al Kursi, for there will remain with you a guardian from Allaah, and no devil will approach you, until morning comes.

Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan (hafithahuAllah)

Question: 

Is it permissible to repeat the adhkaar (remembrance) even if a person is not in a state of purity?(1)

Answer from the Shaykh:

Naam (yes), there is no objection to this, rather purity is required for the recitation of the Qur'aan,(2) as for du'a and adkhaar there is no objection to this.

Footnote:

(1) Meaning being in a state of wudu.

(2) This based on the hadeeth of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), when he told the people of Yemen: "No one should touch the Qur'aan except one who is taahir (state of purity)". Hadeeth declared saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Irwaa'al-Ghaleel 1/158.
