If a child says an object is impure or he has washed something with water, his word is not to be accepted. However, if a child who is mumayyiz and understands well what purity and impurity are, says he has washed something with water, then in the event that the object is at his disposal or one attains confidence in what he says, his word is to be accepted. The same applies if he says an object is impure. [1] This is an appellation given to someone as the father or mother of someone.
[2] A turbah is a piece of earth or clay on which one places his forehead when prostrating. [3] An absolute condition is one that must be fulfilled for an action to be valid irrespective of the performer’s state of knowledge with regard to that condition. For example, performing rukūʿ in prayers is an absolute condition for the prayer to be valid because even if a person omits it unknowingly and realises this afterwards, his prayer is void and he must repeat it.
However, wearing pure clothing in prayers is not an absolute condition because if one performs prayers with impure clothing and realises this afterwards, his prayer is deemed to be valid.
