Wilayat-e-Ali in Prayer By Ayatullah Qasim Al Khoei

Faqih-e-AhleBait (as) Ayatullah Khoei

In the book "Siraat Ul Najaat Fee Ajwab Il Isteftaat" containing the rulings of Ayatullah Khoi collected by Ayatullah Jawad Tabarizi:

سؤال 240: من يذكر في كل تشهد في الصلاة، بعد الشهادة بالوحدانية و الرسالة، الشهادة لعلي عليه السلام بالولاية، هل يحكم ببطلان صلاته، لو كان ذلك منه جهلا بالحكم، واعتقادا بلزومها أو استحبابها، أم تصح تلك الصلاة؟

الخوئي: إذا كان معتقدا بصحة الصلاة معها، صحت ولا اعادة عليه فيها

Question: If one in every Tashahhud in Prayers after recitation of declaration of Tawheed and Risaalat, recites the declaration of Wilayat of Ali (as), then does the Prayer become invalid? Whether this be out of ignorance of the law, or with believing it to be obligatory or Mustahab, Will that prayer be valid?

Answer by Ayatullah Khoi:

“If the person was of the believe that the prayer is valid with it [shahadah of Wilayat of Imam Ali (as)] then the prayers is correct and reciting the praying again is not on him."
