Fee Amaanillah, Akil Karim Moderator - 'Aalim Network ---------- Forwarded message ---------- QUESTION: Do I have to be in wudhu, fully covered, and facing east when I pray a dua such as Dua-e-Kumail? ANSWER: You do not have to be in a state of taharat (ritual purity) or facing qibla when reciting a dua. However, you do need to be in a state of taharat if you physically touch the name of Allah or the ma'sumin. Yours in Islam, Liyakatali
