The Impact of Athkar and Similarities other than Praying on Its Validity (A Feqh Comparative Study)

This study aimed at pointing out the concept of athkar (praises), its validity, invalidity, void ness, and praying. Then discussed the impact of athkar, du'a (calls), and similarities, which are not part of praying internal praises, but outside, on the validity of praying, i.e., blessing the sneezer, reply a salutation, and correcting the prayer or Imam, explain to the prayer or directing others through a verse from the Holy Qur'an. Then pointed out scholars' opinions, and proofs; discussed them in order to reach to a favorable opinion, which leads to assisting the prayer to fulfill his rituals according to the teachings of Allah (subhanahu wata'ala), which leads to acceptance and attainment of reward.
