An-Nisa 4:43 يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تقربوا الصلاة وانتم سكارى حتى تعلموا ما تقولون ولا جنبا الا عابري سبيل حتى تغتسلوا وان كنتم مرضى او على سفر او جاء احد منكم من الغايط او لامستم النساء فلم تجدوا ماء فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا فامسحوا بوجوهكم وايديكم ان الله كان عفوا غفورا ٤٣

4:43
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
لَا
تَقۡرَبُواْ
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
وَأَنتُمۡ
سُكَٰرَىٰ
حَتَّىٰ
تَعۡلَمُواْ
مَا
تَقُولُونَ
وَلَا
جُنُبًا
إِلَّا
عَابِرِي
سَبِيلٍ
حَتَّىٰ
تَغۡتَسِلُواْۚ
وَإِن
كُنتُم
مَّرۡضَىٰٓ
أَوۡ
عَلَىٰ
سَفَرٍ
أَوۡ
جَآءَ
أَحَدٞ
مِّنكُم
مِّنَ
ٱلۡغَآئِطِ
أَوۡ
لَٰمَسۡتُمُ
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
فَلَمۡ
تَجِدُواْ
مَآءٗ
فَتَيَمَّمُواْ
صَعِيدٗا
طَيِّبٗا
فَٱمۡسَحُواْ
بِوُجُوهِكُمۡ
وَأَيۡدِيكُمۡۗ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
كَانَ
عَفُوًّا
غَفُورًا

Do not draw near to the Prayer while you are intoxicated1 until you know what you are saying2 nor while you are defiled3 - save when you are travelling - until you have washed yourselves.4 If you are either ill or travelling or have satisfied a want of nature or have had contact with women5 and can find no water, then betake yourselves to pure earth, passing with it lightly over your face and your hands.6Surely Allah is All-Relenting, All-Forgiving.
