Losing concentration in Salaah

· 2 Jumada II 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If I prayed my salaah and I felt a lack of khushoo and felt as though my mind was diverted by dunya matters, should/can I repeat the salaah?

Answer

The Salaah does not have to be repeated. The Salaah is valid, however you should make a little istighfaar.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
